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 Despite its historical reputation, its extreme weight and lack of rifle protection make it outdated compared to modern composite helmets.

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.
