  • Do they serve any sensory function the way antenna do? Or are they just decorative?

    (They are cool, gotta admit. I love the classic GHO look)

    • No consensus has been reached. Communication and camouflage are the 2 main theories. I don't buy the camo one myself. I don't think they're big enough to make a difference.
