MEDIEVAL Pig Face Helmet BULLETPROOF? *Test*

The Táctica Civil channel conducted a ballistic test on a medieval 'Pigface' helmet. Using a crossbow, shotgun, handguns (.380 Auto, 9mm), and rifles (.223, 7.62x39), the host determined the helmet offered protection up to 9mm rounds, with rifle calibers easily penetrating. The test highlights the helmet's limitations against modern firearms despite its historical design.

This video demonstrates a ballistic comparison between a 9mm custom pistol and an M16-style rifle, using a large fixed-blade knife as a target. The custom pistol's 9mm round impacted the knife without severing it, while the rifle's 5.56x45mm NATO round successfully cut the knife in half. The demonstration highlights the significant difference in terminal energy and penetration capabilities between common pistol and rifle calibers.

This video features an in-depth ballistic testing of the RTS Tactical Level IV Ceramic Plate Carrier Active Shooter Kit, utilizing a powerful Smith & Wesson 460 Performance Center revolver. The test goes beyond basic penetration, aiming to subject the body armor to extreme conditions. The video also teases additional testing with other firearms including a .44 Magnum, Springfield 30-06, CZ Shadow 2 9mm, and an AR-15 in 5.56 NATO with different ammunition types, promising a comprehensive look at the plate's capabilities and performance under various calibers and firearm platforms.

This video tests the Canadian CG634 military helmet against various handgun and rifle calibers. While it successfully stops common handgun rounds like 9mm and .44 Magnum, it shows significant backface deformation with the latter. The helmet fails against a 7.62x39mm rifle round, penetrating easily and also piercing the cinder block behind it.

This video features a tactical gear reviewer conducting a ballistic test on a Belgian M1 steel helmet. The test progresses through various calibers, starting with birdshot and .22 LR, then .380 Auto, 9mm, and finally .223 Rem. The helmet demonstrates resistance to smaller calibers but is penetrated by 9mm and .223 rounds, highlighting its limitations against modern rifle threats while acknowledging its status as a classic piece of military surplus.

This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of various 12 gauge shotgun loads (birdshot, buckshot, slug) against a medieval war helmet. The content creator, identified as a firearms enthusiast, showcases the increasing destructive power of each ammunition type, from superficial damage with birdshot to complete penetration and significant destruction with a slug. The demonstration highlights projectile energy transfer and its effects on protective gear.

This video presents a humorous skit emphasizing the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It visually demonstrates a handgun malfunction and uses a relatable, albeit exaggerated, scenario with a spent casing to highlight the potential dangers of inadequate eye safety. The creator, experienced in firearm handling and tactical gear, reinforces this essential safety message.

This video features a 'bulletproof' test where a tree is used as a ballistic medium to test various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating high-level firearms expertise, shows that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG can be significantly stopped by a dense tree, with none of the tested rounds achieving a complete pass-through. The test highlights the surprising terminal ballistics of different ammunition types against natural barriers.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the concept of using a human body, simulated with ballistic gel, as a suppressor. The host fires a Derya Arms .22 rifle directly against a ballistic gel head and block, noting the shot sounded 'dead silent.' The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head and into the gel block.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test on a Belgian M1 steel helmet, evaluating its resistance against various calibers from birdshot to .223. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical Host, shows that the helmet is not bulletproof against common handgun and rifle rounds like 9mm and .223. The host's energetic and demonstration-oriented style, coupled with expertise in tactical gear, provides a clear assessment of the helmet's limitations.
