SubscribeGI develops Bulletproof Protective Shield to protect Humvee gunners.
After two of his buddies, both Humvee turret gunners, were shot in the face by insurgent snipers, Briola decided to do something he hoped would prevent more gunners from getting hit.
Although both soldiers survived, he didn't want to see any more of his friends share the same fate.
He took a glass and metal plate from a bulletproof shield originally designed to protect the commander of a Bradley Fighting Vehicle. He then modified a night-vision sight so the shield could be fitted onto any Humvee turret gun, from a M249 Squad Automatic Weapon and up.
