How is a person supposed to fit into a CMC suit?

All,
Just curious as to your thoughts on how a normally-shaped human being could possible fit into the suit? The generation is irrelevant - all of them seem to be this way. Specially the shoulders. Based on the following picture, and on how tall this guy's head is, and where his shoulders would end up, there is no way he could fit into this thing. The shoulder joint in the armor would probably end up half way down his upper arm.

Even in the video where Tychus is suited up, there's no way his shoulders would fit based on where his head is in the helmet. The person is just too low in the suit for the shoulder joins to align - the arms are also just too far away from the body. No one's arms hang that far away from the torso.

Any thoughts, or better, and images that show a person inside the CMC armor?

Pwned.
Your argument is invalid.

Ok, not a bad picture, but I'm still not seeing the mechanics of it. Not trying to downplay your reply, but it still doesn't seem anatomically possible. I found another picture of the same guy standing straight on, and his costume has a MUCH more narrow torso - the arm don't hang out from his side. On the contrary, they are flush. Same with the legs. his legs and arms are flush at his sides. The normal CMC pics we see (not our costume recreations) aren't this way.

Figured this would be the place to ask, since it's been bugging my pointy head for a while.

Thanks for the input.

very nice costume btw - they take that game seriously...that's for sure.

btw, following is the straight on shot of the guy you posted:

Holy god damn, use the edit button.

And no, that is a different person entirley

Its called Blizzard style :P

Besides humans in the Korpulu Sector are desendants of mutants and cyborgs...

He's right, the first guy has long hair and the second guy has short hair.
BTW i'm thinking the standard guy in a combat suit wouldn't be standing flush anyways.
Having large muscles, and a lot of armour would cause the arms to be out a little, and they would be assuming a combat ready stance.

The difference isnt that big, I think any semi buff guy can attest that is a rather natural way for there arms to hang.

One thing I thought was interesting was the fact that the hands of the individual end in the forearms. The hands are fully mechanical, no fingers and no nothing inside them. You can see it in the old launch teaser (at roughly 2:58 and forwards). That goes a long way in explaining the exaggerated features on the combat suits - they actually aren't perfect fits for the people inside.

I assumed the same was true for the legs as well.
