Russian WW2 Helmet Bulletproof? #civtac #gun #fullautofriday
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.
