I wouldn't let that kind of information loose on the internet! Dacians used plasma weapons against the Romans... hock:
Interesting that the Berzobis helmet has such a specific date range. I'd always considered that, if we follow the 'anti-falx modification' theory, these helmets more probably dated to the Domitianic Dacian wars - with one Roman army destroyed under Oppius Sabinus in c85 and another under Cornelius Fuscus the following year, legionaries in the winter camps along the Danube in 87 would be quite the ones to be welding extra bits onto their armour, knowing they'd be marching out to face the same enemy again in the spring!
