This video tests the durability of a World War II Japanese Type 90 helmet against modern firearms. A .22 LR Glock 44, a 9mm Smith & Wesson EZ, and an 8mm Mauser Kar98k are used. The helmet is penetrated by all calibers, with the 8mm Mauser round completely destroying a concrete block behind it, highlighting the limited protection of vintage steel helmets against modern ammunition.

The Japanese Type 97 Tank Machine Gun is a licensed ZB-26 variant chambered in 8mm Mauser, unusual for Japanese WWII firearms. It features a 1.5x scope with a 30-degree field of view and a unique downward casing ejection system for tank interiors. The gun could be mounted in a pintle or on the hull top with iron sights.
