This video tests the ballistic resistance of a World War I British Brodie helmet. Various calibers, including 9mm, .223 Remington, 7.62x39mm, and .308 Winchester, were fired at the helmet. While some rounds did not penetrate, higher-powered rounds like the .308 significantly damaged the helmet and a simulated skull.
