This video tests the ballistic resistance of a medieval 'Pigface' helmet against various firearms. While a crossbow and handgun rounds (up to 9mm) were deflected or caused superficial damage, rifle calibers like .223 and 7.62x39 easily penetrated the helmet. The test concludes the helmet offers protection against handgun rounds but is not fully bulletproof against rifle fire.
This medieval pig face helmet surprisingly withstands handgun calibers up to 9mm, with rounds deflecting off its angled surface. However, it is easily penetrated by rifle rounds like 5.56 NATO and 7.62x39mm. While it offers no protection against direct hits to the eye slits from birdshot, the helmet's geometry is key to its ballistic resistance against pistol rounds.
