This video tests the ballistic resistance of three WWII helmets (American M1, Japanese Type 90, German Stahlhelm) against a Ruger 10/22 chambered in .22 LR. While none of the helmets were penetrated, the impacts caused dents of varying severity. The German helmet's paint notably held up well.

This video tests the protective capabilities of three World War II helmets against a 70-pound compound bow. The American M1 helmet was completely penetrated, while the German Stahlhelm deflected the arrow due to its sloped design. The Japanese Type 92 helmet offered partial protection, stopping the arrow but causing significant damage.

This video conducts a rigorous durability test on WWII helmets from Japan, America, and Germany. The German Stahlhelm demonstrated superior performance against ballistic threats (.22 LR, 9mm, .45 ACP) and archery, though all helmets sustained damage. Explosive and impact tests revealed varying resilience, with the Japanese helmet showing surprising resistance to blunt force. Ultimately, the German helmet offered the best protection against projectiles.

This video tests the durability of a World War II Japanese Type 90 helmet against modern firearms. A .22 LR Glock 44, a 9mm Smith & Wesson EZ, and an 8mm Mauser Kar98k are used. The helmet is penetrated by all calibers, with the 8mm Mauser round completely destroying a concrete block behind it, highlighting the limited protection of vintage steel helmets against modern ammunition.
