BUCKET HELMET?!?!

[Lightroom]

Is the bucket helmet better then a coffee can helmet. It makes sense that the bucket helmet is better then the coffee can helmet because the bucket helmet covers your entire head and the coffee can helmet or any other face mask doesn't so if you get shot in the back of the head then it would do less damage with the bucket helmet on because the bucket helmet covers the back of your head and the coffee can helmet or any other facemask doesn't.
Please put your thoughts in the comments :)

The big advantage to the bucket is, that it's much higher than your actual head. This has led many opponents to overshoot my head. The bullet enters the bucket, traverses the space inside, exits the bucket, dealing a total of 0 points of damage. Expect to get called a cheater when baddies miss the head inside the bucket.

Other players will, of course, aim for your body instead, so don't expect total impunity. It doesn't offer nearly as much protection as the facemask, or the plate helmet.

when was this changed?

last i heard the bucket helmet was bad because hitting the bucket, meant hitting the head. the bucket becomes the head and since its bigger than your head, its a lot easier to get headshots.
