Videos tagged with Aramid Fiber

This video provides an expert review of a Chinese ballistic helmet, contrasting its performance with a previously tested HDPE model. The helmet, constructed from Aramid fiber, undergoes rigorous ballistic testing with various calibers, demonstrating surprisingly effective protection and minimal backface deformation despite its low price. The review highlights the helmet's strengths in material and ballistic performance while noting drawbacks in strap quality.

This expert-level analysis details a ballistic helmet's performance against various handgun calibers, culminating in a test with a .50 AE Desert Eagle. The Protection Group Denmark helmet, constructed from Aramid fibers, significantly outperformed a Chinese HDPE helmet, demonstrating minimal back face deformation even with powerful rounds. The instructor highlights the importance of helmet construction materials and their impact on survivability.

This video provides an in-depth, objective test of the Russian 6B47 helmet, part of the Ratnik kit. Garand Thumb, a recognized expert in tactical gear, demonstrates the helmet's performance against various threats, from spall and handgun rounds to rifle calibers. The 6B47 excels at its intended purpose of fragmentation and shrapnel protection but, as expected for its class, does not stop high-velocity rifle rounds.

Edwin Sarkissian, demonstrating high authority and expertise, conducts an experimental test on the survivability of an Indian military ballistic helmet against an M67 fragmentation grenade. The experiment reveals that the helmet is completely destroyed, highlighting the extreme destructive power of the grenade and the limitations of ballistic headwear against such threats. The video emphasizes safety protocols, including remote detonation and the use of blast shielding.

This review tests the AR500 Armor Emergency Personal Carrier (EPC) with Level II soft ballistic armor. The EPC is designed for quick deployment, resembling a life jacket, and can be configured for front-only or front-and-back protection. Testing demonstrates its effectiveness against common handgun calibers and shotguns, though it is not rated for rifle rounds like 300 Blackout subsonic. The reviewer highlights its lightweight nature, ease of use, and attractive price point for civilian personal defense.
