This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Belgian M1 steel helmet against various calibers. While it withstands birdshot, .22 LR, and .380 Auto, it is penetrated by 9mm and .223 Rem rounds. The test highlights the helmet's limitations against modern firearm threats despite its historical significance as military surplus.

This YouTube video, titled 'Capacete Comb Espanhol à prova de balas? (Morion)', explores the ballistic protection capabilities of a Spanish combat helmet, specifically the Morion style. While the video title poses a question about its bulletproof nature, the focus is on the historical and potentially protective aspects of this type of headwear. Without a transcript, the analysis relies solely on the title, suggesting a review or test of the helmet's effectiveness against projectiles.

This video conducts a rigorous durability test on WWII helmets from Japan, America, and Germany. The German Stahlhelm demonstrated superior performance against ballistic threats (.22 LR, 9mm, .45 ACP) and archery, though all helmets sustained damage. Explosive and impact tests revealed varying resilience, with the Japanese helmet showing surprising resistance to blunt force. Ultimately, the German helmet offered the best protection against projectiles.

This ballistic test evaluates the protection offered by a World War I British Brodie helmet against various modern calibers. While it stopped birdshot and .22 LR, it was penetrated by common handgun rounds like .380 Auto and 9mm, as well as intermediate rifle cartridges such as .223 and 7.62x39. A .308 round caused catastrophic damage, highlighting the helmet's inadequacy against contemporary threats.

This YouTube video, titled 'What is a Pickelhaube?', explores the historical significance of the Pickelhaube helmet, often associated with World War I. While the title and description primarily focus on this historical artifact and related content from the creator's podcast 'Flak & Fubar' and Patreon page, it does not mention any specific firearms, calibers, manufacturers, or firearms-related applications. The content appears to be historical and potentially collectible-oriented rather than focused on modern firearms.

This video tests the durability of a World War II helmet by shooting it with a 9mm pistol. The creator, Johnny Q, aims to demonstrate the potential impact of such a projectile on historical headgear, humorously noting that it would likely cause a severe headache if worn during the test. The video also promotes Johnny Q's other social media channels and YouTube channel memberships.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Vietnam-era USMC M1 helmet against various handgun and rifle calibers. While it stops lower-powered rounds like .22 LR and .32 ACP, it shows significant damage from 9mm and is easily penetrated by high-velocity rounds like 5.7x28mm, .50 AE, and 7.62x39mm. The tests highlight the helmet's limitations against modern and rifle-caliber threats.
