This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Level III helmet from Protection Group Denmark against rifle spalling and fragments. The tests demonstrate that the helmet effectively stops fragments and even full bullet impacts without penetration, showcasing its efficacy in protecting against ricochets and spall.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of the new Premier Body Armor Fortis helmet, specifically the second-generation model. The instructor demonstrates its protection against various handgun calibers, including 9mm, 10mm, .44 Magnum, .50 AE, and the powerful .500 S&W Magnum, as well as a 12-gauge slug. The helmet is shown to stop all tested projectiles, with varying degrees of backface deformation.

This video exposes a company, Tacta Helmet, for allegedly misrepresenting their ballistic and bump helmets. The instructor highlights the absence of 'NIJ rating' on helmets, explaining that claims of NIJ certification or rating are false. He also debunks the possibility of any helmet stopping .30-06 AP rounds due to blunt force trauma limitations.

This video demonstrates a practical test of a Protection Group Denmark Level 3 ballistic helmet's effectiveness against bullet spalling and fragmentation. The host, identified as a tactical gear reviewer, uses an AR-15 style rifle chambered in .300 Blackout to fire at an angled steel target, analyzing the helmet's ability to stop fragments without penetration. The test confirms the helmet's capability in mitigating shrapnel and ricochets.

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.

This comprehensive review details the testing of the US Army's current issue ArmorSource AS505 helmet. The video provides an expert assessment of its ballistic performance against various threats, including rifle calibers, and evaluates its construction, features, and compatibility with accessories. The analysis highlights the helmet's adherence to the Army 10-02 standard, focusing on fragmentation protection.

This video tests the effectiveness of Defender Body Armor's Level 3A vest and a helmet against arrows. The tests demonstrate that the body armor successfully stops multiple arrow impacts without penetration, and the helmet also shows resistance, though it sustains damage. The presenter, who claims expertise in archery, conducts the tests from various distances.
