Videos tagged with UN Helmet

This video conducts a comparative ballistic test between an Italian Police helmet and a Belgian UN steel helmet. Various calibers, from birdshot to 9mm and .223, are fired at both helmets to assess their resistance. The test reveals that the steel helmet generally outperforms the polymer police helmet, particularly against higher caliber rounds.

This video features an expert-level review and destructive testing of the WOOX axe and WOOX Rock 62 knife by Edwin Sarkissian. The WOOX axe, made in Italy/USA with a hickory wood handle and leather blade cover, was tested against various ballistic helmets, including IDF Level 2A and Chinese Level 3A models, demonstrating impressive durability by failing to penetrate. The axe also excelled in its intended purpose of chopping thick tree branches.

This UN helmet, likely rated Level 2, surprisingly stops handgun rounds up to .44 Magnum, though significant deformation and blunt force trauma are evident. While it holds against common pistol calibers like 9mm and .380 Auto, it fails against rifle rounds like 7.62x39mm, as expected for handgun-rated protection. The test highlights the helmet's effectiveness against specific threats but also its limitations against higher-powered firearms.
