I guess they finally realized Police and other domestic agencies are primarily dealing with a different threat than the military helmets have been largely oriented for. Specifically the difference between stopping shrapnel and errant bullets from a relatively long distance being the primary threats, VS short distance direct shots to the head being the primary threats.

@ColinMor-fj3qc agree to disagree, besides if he didn't do this one then there is no need to hate on him.

Reject Modernity (plastic armor), Embrace Tradition (aramid armor)

One thing to consider in terms of poly vs aramid helmets is sensitivity to the elements - poly helmets are sensitive to mild temperatures (80C+ starts degrading the material), sensitivity to physical damage (dont drop it on concrete lol) - all of these will degrade its protective qualities. It also starts burning at fairly low temperatures (~200-300C iirc) Compare this to aramid helmets which dont burn, you can play football with it all day and doesnt give a shit about any elements thanks to the resin/aramid combo. Burns at about 800C. The only thing you win with poly is better fragment protection - like significantly better. But it is all tradeoffs the other way. The 762x39 msc protection without extra plates claimed by some manufacturers is bs because of deformation. I mean this video already shows how bad the deformation is when stopping pistol caliber rounds, now try 6x+ the energy. Maybe in the future, who knows...

Hi Oxide, As some guys said before me you should try to get an Ulbricht helmet if you looking in the rifle rated dimension. Their Zenturion C1300H is classic among the German SEK. Their newer VPAM6 also nice. But you might wanna check out the Mehler H5 helmet especially in the faceshield and extra protective shell equipped configuration ⚠️

Great video, very informative and concise. Exceptionally well put together presentation of the facts. Love it!

You should try the Ulbrichts Boltless Helmet, it's an Austrian ballistic helmet and the company that make them, Ulbrichts, claims that the helmet is beyond NIJ 3A rating. While on the development process they not only focused on penetration but deformation too creating an all round product. I would love to see you test their claims.

Never thought id see you putting Okra in one of your videos, i love his music and have followed him for a while. Thanks for the videos

Would you consider a weapon series where you go in depth on various weapons and their variants such as the vast amount of AK variants and maybe go through calibers like 9x39, 9x21 and 9x18 etc. You already have a reputation for very detailed videos on Russian units, armors and helmets and I reckon it would be incredible to see the same care and detail put into reviewing small arms from around the world and throughout modern times. Respect from Australia.

What I’m getting out of this is that there are benefits and drawbacks to each helmet material (assuming proper manufacture).

​@@Oxide_does_his_best If you do more helmet tests, take a look at the US Army's FHSDB (fatal head shot database). It's a recording of every fatal head shot a US soldier suffered since Vietnam (or possibly Korea?). I realize you're placing your shots to hit a clean area on the helmets and not pollute the results due to the costs of the helmets. But, taking as many shots as you can at locations were previous fatal shot occurred, when possible, would add a little something more to any future videos like this. Anyway, just sharing an idea - not really critiquing. Great job on this video guys!

Busch does make a specifically rifle rated helmet, but it is quite heavy. Designed to be worn for shorter periods, like warrant service for LE.

Great information, but the 1980's VCR graphics and editing was top notch.

nearly all helmet manufacturers make helmets designed for military use, then sell them to Police as well. Busch is one of (if not the only) company in North America that focuses on law enforcement helmets, not military.

For your search Ulbrichts Protection (another german company) offers rifle rated helmets some with the trauma level VPAM 6 (7.62x39). Btw Bush Protective is well known in Germany.

Have you ever thought about testing the up-armor applique for PASGTs? I say that like there's a lot of there. I only know of one indian company that developed one. Kinda wish I could get my hands on one.

Any chance you could test the Protective group Denmark arch gen 3 helmet? It’s supposed to be pressed in Bulgaria and finished in Denmark. Thanks for the quality content, hope life is treating you well.

@Oxide you might want to look at the ULBRICHTS ZENTURIO HELMETS specifically the 7.62 MSC variant.
