US military helmet vs Russian military helmet

This video features a ballistic helmet comparison against a Desert Eagle. The ARCH gen 3 ballistic helmet from Protection Group Denmark, constructed with aramid fibers, is tested for its effectiveness against .45 ACP rounds from a Desert Eagle. The description highlights the helmet's NIJ 0106.01 level 3A approval and V50 ballistic test compliance, as well as its claimed 50% reduction in 9mm back face deformation. The video aims to demonstrate the practical performance of the helmet, which reportedly exceeded expectations.

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 tests an Indian military ballistic helmet against various handgun and rifle calibers in a desert environment. While the helmet successfully stops lower-power handgun rounds like .22 LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, and 5.7x28mm, it shows significant internal deformation with .357 Magnum. Higher-powered .44 Magnum rounds and the 7.62x39mm rifle round easily penetrate the helmet, highlighting its limitations against rifle threats.

This review tests a Temu ballistic helmet, finding it ineffective against common handgun rounds. While it stopped a .22 LR, significant backface deformation was observed. A 9mm round easily penetrated the helmet, rendering it non-bulletproof. The host expresses skepticism about the helmet's advertised protection.

This review tests the current issue Chinese military helmet, comparing it to the US IHPS. It features a Boa closure and boltless rails, performing well against pistol and shotgun threats, even stopping .44 Magnum. However, it fails against rifle calibers like 7.62x39mm, 5.56mm, and .308, indicating a significant vulnerability.

This video explores the protective capabilities of military-grade helmets against explosive forces, specifically a grenade. The title suggests a focus on tactical applications and civilian-military comparisons, indicated by the '#civtac' hashtag. The content aims to determine if such protective gear can withstand the impact and shrapnel from a grenade detonation.

This video tests how many cast iron skillets are needed to stop various bullets, from .22 LR to 500 S&W Magnum. Most common handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP are stopped by two skillets. Rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm also require two to three skillets, while the powerful 500 S&W Magnum penetrates three and is stopped by the fourth. The .22 LR failed to penetrate even the first skillet.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of a .50 BMG rifle, specifically the Serbu BFG-50A, against a section of railroad track. Various .50 caliber rounds, including Raufoss Mk 211 API and silver tip API, were fired. While the rifle and ammunition demonstrated the ability to penetrate even the thickest parts of the rail (over 1.5 inches), bullet deflection and shifting upon impact with the dense steel were observed.

This video demonstrates launching an M67 fragmentation grenade using an X Products Can Cannon towards a distant frozen lake. The Can Cannon, firing .223 blanks, successfully propels the grenade, which detonates upon impact, creating a visible hole in the ice. The experiment highlights the launcher's capability for extreme projectile delivery in challenging outdoor conditions.

This video tests the destructive power of a .50 caliber spotter round against 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass, comparing it to a standard FMJ round. The spotter round, designed to spark and flash, created a larger crater and more surface damage than the FMJ round, demonstrating its specialized impact characteristics. The Serbu BFG-50A rifle was used for both tests.
