Former Navy SEAL Mark 'Coch' Cochiolo details the evolution of tactical helmets from his BUD/S training liners to modern, highly customizable ballistic headwear. He highlights the progression from basic fragmentation protection with the M1 Steel Pot to the ballistic capabilities of Kevlar and MICH helmets, emphasizing advancements in modularity and integrated systems for night vision and communications.
This video tests High Com Security's Level IIIA rated PASGT and MICH style helmets against various handgun calibers, including .22LR, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, 10mm, and .357 SIG. The helmets successfully stopped all handgun rounds, though some showed significant deformation and internal bulging. A multi-strike test with .357 SIG eventually led to failure. As expected, a 5.56 NATO rifle round easily penetrated the helmets.
