The armour and helmets were originally made for
'Starship Troopers'. They were rented to Firefly,
sections painted in metallic purple, and then
returned after shooting. The rental house, Sony
in this case, scrubbed off what purple they could
and then painted over the top with grey paint
(wrong shade). The helmets and armour were then
used in Starship Troopers 2. The helmet seen here
is the actual one worn by the Trooper in the
sickbay in 'Bushwacked' as is the set of armour.
