Steps To Reproduce

Observed on several zombies before creating issue. Have not actively spent time reproducing. At the time was using a LAR w/ ATOG at distance. Will be on the look out for all Zombies with helmets on. Does not appear to be all zombies with head gear.

This issue has been known (the helmets are commented out from spawning on zeds in the economy files) a long, long time now and it would be nice if it was fixed at some point so heavy mil (and police) zombies can be appropriately intimidating. A 1960:s steel helmet just doesn't give the same impression that a ballistic or gorka helmet would do along with a plate carrier. I very much doubt this requires a lot of work, likely just a few points on either model that aren't weighted properly.

Affected helmets are only Ballistic, Gorka and Mich2001 helmets. The steel helmet and various civilian helmets work fine.

Still an issue yet another year later, makes me a little sad.
