This video demonstrates the ballistic performance of a Premier Body Armor Fortis Level 3A helmet against various handgun calibers, from .22 LR up to .500 Magnum. Using a ballistic dummy head, the test assesses the helmet's ability to stop rounds and mitigate backface deformation. While the helmet successfully stopped all tested calibers, significant deformation occurred with higher-powered rounds, and the .500 Magnum ultimately caused catastrophic damage to the dummy head, indicating potential survivability issues with extreme calibers.

This video tests the Premier Body Armor FORTIS Level IIIA helmet against various handgun and magnum calibers, including .22 LR, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, 10mm, .44 Magnum, and 12 gauge buckshot. The helmet successfully stopped all tested calibers up to and including .44 Magnum, demonstrating impressive ballistic protection. Key features include an adjustable dial retention system, extensive Velcro real estate for accessories, and a comfortable internal padding system.

This video provides a comprehensive review and ballistic test of a Level IIIA helmet from Ballistic Armor Co. The helmet features standard tactical attachments like arc rails and a night vision shroud, with removable and replaceable padding. The review includes live-fire testing against the helmet with 9mm, .44 Magnum (both FMJ and hollow point), and .223 Remington rounds, demonstrating its protective capabilities against handgun calibers while showing limitations against rifle rounds.
