Can a Military Face Shield Stop a Bullet?

This video features a ballistic test of the new FORTIS Helmet from Premier Body Armor. The creator aims to determine if the helmet can withstand an "arsenal" of projectiles. The description includes affiliate links for Premier Body Armor, the creator's merchandise, and Axil ear protection. It also provides links to the creator's camera gear and social media.

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 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.

A 1980s Kevlar military helmet was tested against various calibers. It successfully stopped 9mm, .45 ACP, and .44 Magnum rounds. However, it was penetrated by a .223 rifle round and catastrophically failed against a 450 Bushmaster, demonstrating limitations against higher-powered rifle cartridges.

This video features a ballistic test of a Safe Vest Level IIIA soft body armor against various calibers, including a .50 caliber round, conducted at a closed range. The armor is rated to withstand a .44 Magnum, and the test aims to see if it holds up to its claims against a wide range of ammunition. The video is presented for educational and entertainment purposes, with a focus on the performance of the body armor.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of body armor purchased from Wish. The creator intends to fire multiple firearms at the armor, which is advertised by Wish as rated for 7.62x39mm ammunition (NIJ 3). The video aims to determine the actual effectiveness of this budget-friendly tactical gear against various firearm calibers and types.

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.
