If I may thrown in my 2 coins...
I'm not from calontir, not have I ever seen this game played, but
I think I can offer a simple reason why they use milk containers.
They're cheap!!!!! Honestly, it is hard to get a fighter's helm away
from them when they want to fight (I'm a fighter, so I speak from
experience) and unless you're going to shell out $50 minumum for a helm,
and maybe more than one, it makes sense to just use the cheap spray
painted plastic for the little ones.
