Capacete M1 belga é à prova de balas? *teste*

This video tests the ballistic protection of a Russian WWII helmet replica against various calibers. While it stopped low-power rounds like 12 gauge birdshot and .22 LR, it was penetrated by .380 Auto and all subsequent higher calibers tested, including 9mm, .223, 7.62x39mm, and .308 Win. The conclusion is that the helmet offers significantly less protection than its US counterpart from the same era.

This test evaluates the ballistic protection of a Belgian M1 steel helmet against various calibers. While it stopped birdshot, .22, and .380 Auto rounds, it failed to defeat 9mm and .223 Remington rounds, indicating it is not suitable for protection against common handgun or rifle threats.

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 ballistic test evaluates a military-grade face shield against various calibers. While it stopped .22, 9mm, and .45 ACP rounds with varying degrees of damage, it failed to stop a .44 Magnum, .223 rifle round, and a 12 Gauge slug, all of which penetrated the shield and a ballistic mannequin. The test highlights the limitations of face shields against higher-powered firearms.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Level IV rifle plate purchased from Temu, marketed as the 'cheapest body armor.' The content focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of this budget-friendly armor against rifle threats, a crucial aspect for firearm enthusiasts and those interested in personal protection.

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 video explores the theoretical and practical outcome of loading a 50 BMG cartridge into a 12 gauge flare gun. The experiment, conducted by a hobbyist, demonstrates that while the 50 BMG cartridge surprisingly fits, the flare gun's firing mechanism and primer strength are insufficient to ignite it. The test highlights the significant differences in primer resistance between ammunition types.

This video debunks the myth that shooting upwards is safe, explaining the lethal terminal velocity of falling projectiles. It showcases the Canik Mete MC9 Prime with a Gideon Valor optic and demonstrates the use of 9mm shot shells for controlled, less dangerous demonstrations, highlighting their unique projectile dispersal.

This video debunks the myth that a .50 BMG round passing near a target can be lethal due to shockwave. Using a ballistic mannequin head and a Big Kahuna Firearms Raptor-50 rifle, the test demonstrated that while the .50 BMG round impacted and destroyed a concrete block behind the target, it did not affect the mannequin or the cardboard placed near it. The conclusion is that a near miss from a .50 BMG is not fatal.

This video conducts a destructive test comparing the impact of .22 LR and .50 BMG rounds on a ballistic head model. The .22 LR caused minimal damage, while the .50 BMG completely destroyed the head, highlighting the vast difference in energy and destructive potential between the two calibers. The test also showcases the Raptor .50 BMG upper receiver as an accessible way to experience .50 BMG ballistics on an AR-15 platform.
