Vickers Headstrong

The Vickers Headstrong is a classic pith-type helmet fit with a super shortened single-shot shellgun, usually in 12 or 10 gauge. Though its modern presentation is usually fit with steel plating or kevlar, and features a modern shotgun, this type of helmet has been produced since Oceanyka's colonial period. Back then it was a simple pith helmet fit with a black powder blunderbuss. The wearer should be careful with their choice of load, as a strong recoil may snap their neck. These things are useful against melee rushes, and only ever used by the eccentric gunman.
