How strong is this Russian Titanium helmet? The Altyn Helmet

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.

This video features a test of commercial combat helmets manufactured in China and available for purchase in the Philippines. The reviewer utilizes a variety of firearms to assess the helmets' capabilities, including an M1 Carbine, FN FAL, 9mm CZ SP-01 Tactical, and a Cal 9mm CMMG Pistol Caliber Carbine. The focus is on evaluating the protective qualities of these helmets against different firearm calibers and types.

This YouTube video investigates the penetration capabilities of 9mm ammunition against a ballistic helmet. The title explicitly mentions "9mm" and "ballistic helmet," along with the hashtags "#2ndamendment" and "#glock." The focus appears to be an experimental test to determine how much force is required to breach such protective gear, likely with a handgun. The presence of "#glock" suggests a Glock pistol might be used or at least referenced in the demonstration. The inclusion of "#2ndamendment" indicates a potential connection to Second Amendment rights or discussions surrounding firearm capabilities.

This "Redneck Science" video from Mrgunsngear pits the formidable .50 BMG round fired from a Barrett M107A1 against a ballistic helmet. The description highlights the intent to test the penetration capabilities of the large caliber round on protective gear, aligning with the channel's practical, albeit sometimes unconventional, approach to firearm testing. Social media and affiliate links are provided, along with a standard disclaimer emphasizing safety and responsible firearm handling.

This video title suggests a ballistic test comparing rifle spalling (fragmentation of a projectile upon impact) against a Level III ballistic helmet. The core question is whether the helmet can withstand the fragments generated by a rifle round. The content likely involves a demonstration or analysis of projectile behavior and personal protective equipment's resistance capabilities. It aims to inform viewers about the effectiveness of Level III armor against rifle-induced fragmentation.

This video showcases the immense power of the Solothurn 20mm Anti-Tank Rifle by testing its penetration capabilities against advanced ballistic protection. The rifle, weighing over 120 lbs and firing a 2,330-grain projectile, effortlessly defeated a Level IV ballistic helmet, a Level IV body armor plate, and even a combination of a ballistic shield and armor. The demonstration highlights the sheer destructive potential of large-caliber anti-materiel rifles.

This video demonstrates the proper technique for loading the M1 Garand to prevent 'Garand Thumb'. It emphasizes maintaining downward pressure on the top round to control the bolt's cycling. The content debunks the idea that 'Garand Thumb' is inevitable, attributing it to inexperience and improper handling.

This ballistic test by Garand Thumb reveals that NIJ Level 3A rated ballistic masks, while stopping some projectiles, fail to adequately protect the wearer due to extreme backface deformation. Hits from a .44 Magnum caused fatal deformation, and rifle rounds completely penetrated. The conclusion is that these masks are largely ineffective and potentially dangerous, recommending helmets and proper training instead.

This video delves into the notorious 'Garand Thumb' phenomenon, explaining its mechanics and pain level through direct testing. It covers the M1 Garand's history, technical specifications, and proper loading techniques to avoid injury, including the 'bladed hand' method. The content also features novice testing and concludes with advice on training and firearm ownership.

This video by Garand Thumb investigates the lethality of the .22 LR pistol, challenging common underestimations. Through ballistic testing on a realistic dummy, it demonstrates that while lacking raw power, precise shot placement, especially to the head and vital organs, can be devastating. Rapid fire is also shown to compensate for the caliber's lower individual round energy.
