Rifle Spalling vs Capacete Nível 3: resistirá aos fragmentos?

Published on March 10, 2025
Duration: 1:05

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Level III helmet from Protection Group Denmark against rifle spalling and fragments. The tests demonstrate that the helmet effectively stops fragments and even full bullet impacts without penetration, showcasing its efficacy in protecting against ricochets and spall.

Quick Summary

Level III ballistic helmets, like the one tested from Protection Group Denmark, are effective against rifle spalling and bullet fragments. Tests show that even angled impacts and significant fragmentation do not result in penetration, thanks to the helmet's construction and internal padding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a Level III ballistic helmet stop rifle spalling?

Yes, this video demonstrates that a Level III ballistic helmet from Protection Group Denmark can effectively stop rifle spalling. Fragments from bullet impacts on steel targets were observed to break off, but the helmet prevented them from penetrating the Kevlar layer.

What happens when a bullet hits a ballistic helmet at an angle?

When a bullet hits a ballistic helmet at an angle, larger fragments may be produced. However, as shown in the test, a Level III helmet is still capable of preventing penetration from these fragments, protecting the wearer.

Are ballistic helmets only effective against small fragments?

No, ballistic helmets are designed to offer protection against various threats. This test shows that a Level III helmet can withstand not only spalling but also significant impacts from what appear to be nearly full bullet rounds without penetration.

How does a ballistic helmet prevent penetration from bullet fragments?

Ballistic helmets prevent penetration through a combination of materials, typically including Kevlar, and an internal padding system. The outer shell deflects or breaks up projectiles, while the inner layers absorb the impact energy, preventing the fragments from reaching the wearer's head.
