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.
