Videos tagged with PASGT Helmet

This video details the specific gear used by Rangers during the Battle of Mogadishu in 1993, as explained by CSM Rick Lamb. Key equipment discussed includes the Load Carrying Equipment (LCE), Ranger Body Armor (RBA) with modifications, and the PASGT helmet that saved Lamb's life. The discussion highlights the practical challenges and adaptations made by soldiers in the field.

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.
