Direct impact is worst case scenario, which I would say is more valuable. However, there is definitely good merit to indirect impacts.
Problem with this test is that with each shot the helmet takes it weakens it more and more. If you want a proper test, you need to shoot a new helmet each time you go up in caliber.

It'd be cool to see a helmet shot by common rifle calibers at different 100-yard increments to see how far it takes to stop. We often see stories of an ach stopping a rifle round over seas, but I never see any mention of the estimated distance it was shot from.

@Paul Barclay there was a marine that took one in Afghanistan directly from probably 5-700m away, he survived and was able to walk away from that. There was also a soldier who took one in the middle of the bsck of his head, and survived and continued serving. I'm not saying this is normal, I'm just saying it has happened before.
Fun fact, a 17HMR shoots a pill the same weight at same velocity as the shrapnel standard used for the PASGT / ACH. Might be worth looking into for all these ballistic tests.

Unfortunately the 17HMR uses a pointed bullet and so would not really be appropriate for "in lieu " substitution. Unless you could get it to wildly keyhole from the moment it left the barrel. Similar speeds but different shapes. Non aerodynamic shapes will cause greater injury but may be as little as fifty feet. The 17HMR is quite potent beyond a significant amout more. I like your way of thinking though, keep it up!

This Russian helmet has basically the same level of protection as the older ACH that I was issued. The vast majority of synthetic fiber helmets in the world are basically IIIA. The ECH can stop some rifle rounds because it is made of UHMWPE, a type of polyethylene. It should be able to float as well. I had UHMWPE plates years ago that would float. The downside of UHMWPE plates is they cannot stop steel core/tipped ammunition. That's why ceramic plates are still the most common.

You can make a helmet that will withstand a direct shot from .50 bmg, but then your neck will break under its weight. This helmet demonstrates the golden mean.

When I did my military service as a Vehicle crewman I remember when they refitted the Infantry with the Ratnik gear. It was popular because of how light it was. In the Russian military, there was always the long-standing sentiment that helmets were for cowards, thus many men used to ditch their heavy helmets and just wear a military cap/ushanka instead. The lightness of the 6b47 made helped change this sentiment.

A much better design to safe guard (hopefully) against a deformation kill is to have a thinner secondary skull wrap that is fitted on the head straps on the inside of the helmet (between the head and inside of the helmet. This could possibly prevent the sharpest deformations from hitting the skull directly.

One thing I've wanted to see from you guys is how well common hunting rifle rounds would do against common plates and helmets. Maybe go all out and see how different loads do as well.
@thesayxx
Жыл бұрын
they would probably do bad against plates since vast majority of hunting rounds are designed to deform on impact not penetrate armour, aka most of them are soft points or some variations of hollow points, useless against armour.

@@Dragunov1Bros Anything a standard 5.56 shoots through, will do even worse against almost all FMJ hunting cartridges. Most vest plates and helmets used by the Russians will not stand up to a high BC, high SD FMJ 7mm Rem Mag out to at least 400-500 yards. Of course they have some vest plates that do, but the majority of their soldiers don't have those.
I want to know everything you got on that playe carrier. That setup looks really nice
Basically, the protection of the bulletproof vest and helmet has a stopping action against shrapnel. It's like armor on a tank, only another tank is able to penetrate if there are no additional protective components that increase the thickness, such as the slope of the armor, active and inactive systems, and so on.

>Listen to Garand Thumb >Watch Charlie
He just pops out from behind a rock.. Best intro ever. Then hot shot Charles comes flying in decked out in the safest looking outfit on this pile of dirt ..🤣 Cudos to whoever put this together there is a genius amongst us.
The Sergeant in me wants to slap him for not closing the helmets :D But great Vid as always !
The intro was hilarious. Dude walks out lookin like a goofball and Garand gets away from him lol
This video went to another tier when Charlie referenced "Master and Commander." That is a great movie.
I have seen a Russian soldier what was shot through the helmet and he had a big cut in is head of a few cm, about two inches but survived, just like in ur test at 9:40. He was so lucky..but i think not a normal single helmet will stop an AK round or AR round. Depends on the angle how the bullet hits.. with a direct hit it goes trrough all normal military helmets. I have seen lot of Ukrainians what were shot through the head and helmet and that were western donated helmets.

What a lie! Western helmets stop a direct hit by a T-34 tank projectile (after all, the Russian army has no others left). The Russian army fights exclusively on T-34 and airsoft equipment
Considering that this helmet is lighter and cheaper than the American one, this is a very good helmet. in addition, the design of this helmet involves changing the trajectory of the shrapnel

Нифига, вы молодцы! 👍
The guys at the front say it's a really good helmet as far as it's ballistic properties go. It's main drawbacks are its outdated retention system/chin strap combination and the fact that it lacks of PGD rails to mount headphones (the Ratnik system uses headphones that are worn under the helmet). The prior can be solved pretty easily with cushion pad and a Team Wendy-esque retention system conversion kit, the latter is a bit of a challenge, so most troops opt to buy earless/semi earless helmets instead.
Mike is a genius! I have to keep rewinding giving him longer view times because I’m laughing so much over the shit Charlie says or does just so I can watch the video for it’s actual content.

Это военный шлем. На войне ребята воюют с автоматами серии Калашников (или AR), снайперскими винтовками и крупнокалиберными пулемётами. Никакой шлем не остановит пулю Калаша (или AR) с реальных дистанций боя - до 100-150 метров. Шлем предназначен для защиты головы от осколков, падений и тому подобного... и в последнем случае от пули, которая прилетела по касательной или на излёте. А ещё на шлем удобно навешивать дополнительное оборудование.

Плюс ко всему энергию пули должна ещё уметь компенсировать и шея носителя шлема иначе будет травма позвонков. Шлем, который выдержит АК(AR) сделать не сложно, сложно будет его носить так чтобы не сломало шею при попадании, импульс же никуда не делся.
