Spanish Comb Helmet BULLETPROOF? (Morion Helmet)

Published on January 12, 2025
Duration: 2:22

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Spanish Comb (Morion) helmet. While effective at deflecting smaller projectiles like birdshot, .22 LR, and .380 Auto, it was penetrated by 9mm rounds and easily defeated by rifle calibers (.223 and 7.62x39). The helmet's steep angles are designed for deflection, but it ultimately proved less effective than other historical helmet designs tested previously.

Quick Summary

The Spanish Morion helmet's steep angles are designed for deflection. It successfully deflected birdshot, .22 LR, and .380 Auto. A 9mm round penetrated after a second hit in the same spot, and rifle rounds easily passed through, indicating it's not bulletproof against modern firearms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a Spanish Morion helmet stop bullets?

The Spanish Morion helmet can deflect smaller projectiles like birdshot, .22 LR, and .380 Auto. However, it was penetrated by 9mm rounds and easily defeated by rifle calibers like .223 and 7.62x39, indicating it is not bulletproof against modern firearms.

What is the ballistic performance of a Morion helmet?

The Morion helmet's steep angles are designed for deflection. It successfully deflected birdshot, .22 LR, and .380 Auto. A 9mm round penetrated after a second hit in the same spot, and rifle rounds easily passed through.

How does the Morion helmet compare to other historical helmets in ballistic tests?

In tests, the Morion helmet showed mixed results. While it deflected smaller rounds, it was penetrated by 9mm. A previous test showed the Pigface helmet performed slightly better, deflecting 9mm rounds effectively.

What calibers did the Spanish Morion helmet fail to stop?

The Spanish Morion helmet was penetrated by 9mm rounds, with a second shot in the same area punching through. It was also easily defeated by rifle calibers, including .223 Remington and 7.62x39mm ammunition.
