This video from Civilian Tactical tests the ballistic resistance of a Spanish Comb (Morion) helmet. The host, demonstrating high expertise in ballistic testing, shows how the helmet's design effectively deflects smaller calibers like .22 LR and .380 Auto, but is penetrated by rifle rounds. The test highlights the historical armor's limitations against modern firearms.

This entry details an experimental approach to testing bullet deflection using ballistic dummies and firearms like the LWRC SMG-45. Expert Matt Carriker explores the theoretical possibility of deflecting a .45 ACP round with a hand, concluding that while minor deflection can occur, it's an unreliable defense mechanism resulting in severe injury. The experiment highlights the importance of understanding ballistics and the limitations of improvised defensive tactics.

This guide, presented by Eric from Iraqveteran8888, details safe practices for shooting steel targets, focusing on understanding and mitigating the effects of spalling. It covers proper target engagement, mounting techniques, and essential safety gear, emphasizing that while steel targets are fun, safety awareness is paramount. The expert instruction highlights how projectile impacts can cause fragmentation and spread, requiring shooters to maintain safe distances and wear protective equipment.
