This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Spanish Comb (Morion) helmet. While effective at deflecting smaller projectiles like birdshot, .22 LR, and .380 Auto, it was penetrated by 9mm rounds and easily defeated by rifle calibers (.223 and 7.62x39). The helmet's steep angles are designed for deflection, but it ultimately proved less effective than other historical helmet designs tested previously.

A $25 Temu body armor plate was tested against a 75-pound draw Steambow AR-6 Stinger II repeating crossbow. While the armor previously stopped 9mm and .223 rounds, a crossbow bolt penetrated about two-thirds of the way through, demonstrating that 'bulletproof' does not equate to 'bolt-proof'. The test highlights the limitations of budget armor against different projectile types.

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.
