This video tests the extreme capabilities of a 4 Bore rifle against a Russian Altyn titanium helmet. While the helmet effectively stops handgun rounds like .22 Magnum, 9mm, and even .44 Magnum (with significant damage), it is completely destroyed by the 4 Bore rifle. The test highlights the vast difference in terminal ballistics between common handgun calibers and extreme big-bore rifle cartridges.
The Altyn helmet, a Russian titanium model, is tested for its ballistic capabilities. While effective against 9mm NATO and 00 buckshot, it fails to stop rifle rounds like 5.56x45mm and .308 Winchester. The visor cracks under birdshot impact. Despite its historical reputation, its extreme weight and lack of rifle protection make it outdated compared to modern composite helmets.
