Bulletproof Chinese face mask vs different guns

A $30 Temu body armor panel, claimed to be Level 3A, was tested against various calibers. Surprisingly, it stopped rounds up to .500 S&W Magnum, exceeding expectations for its price point. However, the host advises against relying on it for life-saving situations due to unknown quality control and significant deformation on higher-power rounds.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a medieval 'Pigface' helmet against various firearms. While a crossbow and handgun rounds (up to 9mm) were deflected or caused superficial damage, rifle calibers like .223 and 7.62x39 easily penetrated the helmet. The test concludes the helmet offers protection against handgun rounds but is not fully bulletproof against rifle fire.

This test compares the durability of an Italian police helmet against a Belgian UN steel helmet when subjected to various firearm calibers. While both helmets resisted birdshot and .22 LR, the steel Belgian helmet proved more resilient against .380 Auto and 9mm rounds compared to the Italian polymer helmet. Ultimately, the steel helmet was declared the winner, demonstrating steel's superior performance in this specific durability test.

This ballistic vest, featuring Level 3+ rifle-rated plates from Safe Life Defense, successfully stopped common handgun rounds and intermediate rifle calibers like .223 and .308. However, it failed to stop a .50 BMG sniper round, which penetrated both front and back plates. The test highlights the limitations of even advanced body armor against high-powered sniper threats.

This video tests a Chinese ballistic face shield's ability to stop various handgun rounds. While it successfully deflected birdshot, .22 LR, .380 Auto, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, and 5.7x28mm rounds, it ultimately failed against the powerful .460 S&W Magnum. The test highlights the mask's limitations against extreme calibers, despite its initial impressive performance.

This YouTube video features a ballistic test comparing C.A.T.I. Level III Steel Armor against RUAG SS109 ammunition. Andrew, the presenter, conducts the test to evaluate the armor's performance when impacted by this specific type of round. The video likely showcases the penetration or failure of the armor, providing a direct comparison of their capabilities.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of an excavator bucket against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG API. While smaller calibers and even .450 Bushmaster and .308 were stopped, the .50 caliber Armor Piercing Incendiary round successfully penetrated the bucket, destroying a dummy target behind it. The test highlights the significant difference in terminal effects between standard rifle rounds and specialized armor-piercing ammunition.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers against a large pine tree, culminating with a .50 BMG API round. Surprisingly, even powerful rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62mm, as well as handgun rounds like 10mm and .44 Magnum, failed to fully penetrate the tree. The .50 BMG API round, while charring the entry point, also did not exit the back of the tree, demonstrating the significant stopping power of a substantial tree trunk.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various firearms rounds in a swimming pool, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. Surprisingly, higher velocity rifle rounds like the .223 and .308 fragmented quickly, while the .50 AE Desert Eagle traveled the furthest at 190 inches. The .50 BMG sniper rifle, despite its power, only penetrated 61 inches, likely due to massive energy displacement.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Secret Service Suburban window against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. While smaller calibers and even a 10mm and .44 Magnum were stopped with varying degrees of damage, the window was eventually penetrated by a .50 BMG sniper rifle round. The testing provides a clear demonstration of the limits of armored vehicle glass against high-powered rifle threats.
