This video features Granger Smith testing the durability of historical WWII helmets (American M1, Japanese Type 90, German Stahlhelm) against a customized Ruger 10/22 chambered in .22 LR. The host, demonstrating safe firearm handling, explains that these helmets were not designed for direct ballistic impacts. The tests show that while the helmets dented, they successfully stopped the .22 LR rounds, with the German helmet's paint notably holding up well.

This video details a comprehensive durability test of WWII helmets from Japan, America, and Germany. The helmets are subjected to a variety of destructive methods including archery, ballistic testing with .22 LR and .45 ACP rounds, explosive detonations, blunt force impacts, drops, and crushing by a forklift. The German Stahlhelm demonstrates superior resistance across most tests, particularly against ballistic threats.

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.
