Can This NEW Bulletproof Helmet STOP My Arsenal??? (The Premier FORTIS)

This video demonstrates the ballistic performance of a Premier Body Armor Fortis Level 3A helmet against various handgun calibers, from .22 LR up to .500 Magnum. Using a ballistic dummy head, the test assesses the helmet's ability to stop rounds and mitigate backface deformation. While the helmet successfully stopped all tested calibers, significant deformation occurred with higher-powered rounds, and the .500 Magnum ultimately caused catastrophic damage to the dummy head, indicating potential survivability issues with extreme calibers.

This video provides a comprehensive review and ballistic test of a Level IIIA helmet from Ballistic Armor Co. The helmet features standard tactical attachments like arc rails and a night vision shroud, with removable and replaceable padding. The review includes live-fire testing against the helmet with 9mm, .44 Magnum (both FMJ and hollow point), and .223 Remington rounds, demonstrating its protective capabilities against handgun calibers while showing limitations against rifle rounds.

This video provides an in-depth test of Premier Body Armor's FORTIS line of affordable body armor plates. The reviewer, Magic Prepper, tests three different plates (FORTIS 3+ RF1, FORTIS 3+ GT RF2, and Level 4 RF3) against various rifle calibers including M193, M855, and 308 M80. The testing focuses on penetration, backface deformation, and overall performance relative to NIJ standards and manufacturer claims, offering insights into the value proposition of budget-friendly ballistic protection.

This video provides an expert-level assessment of BB gun lethality for self-defense, featuring an experienced instructor from 1ShotTV. The test uses a realistic ballistic dummy head to compare a Daisy Red Rider BB gun, an Umarex MP40 CO2 replica, and a Gamo Wildcat Whisper pellet rifle. The findings indicate that BB guns are ineffective for self-defense, while pellet rifles show some potential but lack the stopping power of conventional firearms.

This video provides an expert-level demonstration of the BulletSafe VP3 Level 3A bulletproof vest's capabilities. The host, exhibiting high authority and expertise in ballistics and armor ratings, tests the vest against various calibers up to .44 Magnum and 12-gauge buckshot using a realistic ballistic dummy. The results highlight the vest's effectiveness in stopping rounds while also illustrating the potential for significant blunt force trauma and skeletal damage from high-energy impacts.

This review covers the Crosman DPMS SBR, a full-auto BB gun mimicking an AR-15 SBR. The host, demonstrating experienced authority, details its select-fire capability, dual CO2 power, 25-round capacity, and performance metrics like 430 FPS and 1400 RPM. The review includes practical demonstrations of loading, accuracy testing with minimal recoil, and penetration tests on various targets, concluding it offers a realistic full-auto experience for recreational shooting.

This video from 1ShotTV, featuring an experienced firearms content creator, experimentally tests the viability of a flare gun for self-defense. The tests reveal significant fire hazards when firing into household materials and inconsistent performance against clothing and ballistic targets. The Orion 12-gauge flare gun's single-shot capacity and slow reload time are highlighted as major drawbacks for defensive use. The conclusion strongly advises against using flare guns for self-defense due to these risks and limitations.
