The Adept NovaSteel helmet, constructed from 2mm steel, demonstrates surprising effectiveness against 9mm rounds, stopping bullets with minimal deformation. While initial skepticism existed due to its thinness, live-fire testing on a ballistic dummy showed it outperformed expectations, with internal padding likely preventing skull trauma. At 1.2kg and around 200 Euros, it offers a compelling alternative to traditional Kevlar.
This test compares the durability of an Italian police helmet against a Belgian UN steel helmet when subjected to various firearm calibers. While both helmets resisted birdshot and .22 LR, the steel Belgian helmet proved more resilient against .380 Auto and 9mm rounds compared to the Italian polymer helmet. Ultimately, the steel helmet was declared the winner, demonstrating steel's superior performance in this specific durability test.
