Canadian military helmet test 🇨🇦

This review tests the current issue Chinese military helmet, comparing it to the US IHPS. It features a Boa closure and boltless rails, performing well against pistol and shotgun threats, even stopping .44 Magnum. However, it fails against rifle calibers like 7.62x39mm, 5.56mm, and .308, indicating a significant vulnerability.

This video tests an Indian military ballistic helmet against various handgun and rifle calibers in a desert environment. While the helmet successfully stops lower-power handgun rounds like .22 LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, and 5.7x28mm, it shows significant internal deformation with .357 Magnum. Higher-powered .44 Magnum rounds and the 7.62x39mm rifle round easily penetrate the helmet, highlighting its limitations against rifle threats.

The US Army's new Integrated Head Protection System (IHPS) is a significant upgrade over the older Enhanced Combat Helmet (ECH). While not a complete disaster, the IHPS demonstrates improved ballistic protection, particularly against rifle rounds like the 7.62x39mm, and offers better compatibility with communication headsets. Testing revealed it stops more threats than the ECH, though deformation remains a concern with high-powered handgun rounds.

This video explores the protective capabilities of military-grade helmets against explosive forces, specifically a grenade. The title suggests a focus on tactical applications and civilian-military comparisons, indicated by the '#civtac' hashtag. The content aims to determine if such protective gear can withstand the impact and shrapnel from a grenade detonation.

This video features a ballistic test pitting a Level 3 Danish ballistic helmet against a .300 Blackout round to determine which prevails. The content creator emphasizes that their opinions are their own, despite the items being provided by mentioned brands for the video's production. This comparison highlights the protective capabilities of tactical gear against rifle calibers.

This YouTube video features a "torture test" of the Premier Armor Fortis Ballistic Helmet, conducted by Iraqveteran8888. The video focuses on testing the durability and protective capabilities of the helmet under extreme conditions. As per the channel's disclaimer, the content is for documentary, educational, and entertainment purposes, with all demonstrations performed safely and professionally.

This video tests how many cast iron skillets are needed to stop various bullets, from .22 LR to 500 S&W Magnum. Most common handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP are stopped by two skillets. Rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm also require two to three skillets, while the powerful 500 S&W Magnum penetrates three and is stopped by the fourth. The .22 LR failed to penetrate even the first skillet.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of a .50 BMG rifle, specifically the Serbu BFG-50A, against a section of railroad track. Various .50 caliber rounds, including Raufoss Mk 211 API and silver tip API, were fired. While the rifle and ammunition demonstrated the ability to penetrate even the thickest parts of the rail (over 1.5 inches), bullet deflection and shifting upon impact with the dense steel were observed.

This video demonstrates launching an M67 fragmentation grenade using an X Products Can Cannon towards a distant frozen lake. The Can Cannon, firing .223 blanks, successfully propels the grenade, which detonates upon impact, creating a visible hole in the ice. The experiment highlights the launcher's capability for extreme projectile delivery in challenging outdoor conditions.

This video tests the destructive power of a .50 caliber spotter round against 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass, comparing it to a standard FMJ round. The spotter round, designed to spark and flash, created a larger crater and more surface damage than the FMJ round, demonstrating its specialized impact characteristics. The Serbu BFG-50A rifle was used for both tests.
