That is the best use cases for them. But as many reputable manufactures have proven they can be highly dependable and widely effective at stopping various rifle and pistol rounds. In my opinion, if you get shot in the helmet and survive there's a reason God wants you to still be around. After the Whiplash subsides of course.

@@mississippimudactual I have seen them stop some cartridges, but it seems to be all luck in real life. Odds are if you are wearing one of those, the chances of rifle fire coming your way is higher than 9mm. Regardless, I'd rather have one. 🤣 I remember SWAT used to rock Pro-Tec skateboard helmets with nvgs screwed on.

I agree we should not be supporting non friendly countries whenever possible. I do have two Holosun red dots on two pistols primarily because I prefer them to the Trijicons for price, function, ease of use, and superior design (it should be noted however that Trijicons are battle tested). For instance, the Holosun pistol red dots solar charge and allow the user to swap a battery without removing the sight. All the Trijicons I own require me to remove them every year (I do it every 10 months so it doesnt Murphy on me) to swap the battery and re-zero my sight. Not terrible but it takes more time and resources to accomplish. Do you have a source that you could pass along about Hard Head Veterans that shows their helmets are made in China? I have not seen anything to that effect. I am not close minded and would welcome any information I can verify for myself. Thank you in advance.

This was hard to decipher due to the poor writing quality but what I assume your point is that you have no point and are being a douche. People that say no hate just truth are rarely speaking the truth. Here’s why I don’t believe you. A gun belt is a tool. Not sure what you think I possibly said that made you believe I was saying a gun belt made me something more…. I definitely harped on practice and training. I can run perfectly well and for long distances. I was a Combatives instructor (hand to hand fighting) in the military and continue to train on those skills to this day. No flex just facts. I am not 20 years old anymore and obviously don’t have 8 hours a day to workout like I used to when I worked for the military. Haha, I appreciate your “helpful”advice but I’d recommend you focus on the content of the video which was to show an awesome piece of gear that I feel needs to have a light shown on it for being outstanding.

@@mississippimudactual you must be a Miss State fan. Grammar corrected. Nothing changes about the post. Discipline yourself with your diet and exercise. All you need is 45 minutes in the gym. No flex just facts.

I’m not really an SEC fan but Ole Miss would be the high brow school in the state. It seems you may be sincere in your post. And if you are I may have discredited you too quickly. And to your point and credit I agree. My discipline in exercising is lacking. In a combat situation and environment I am not where I want to be physically. Progress not perfection but I’ve slacked off with 4 kids and the stress of transitioning out of the military. But as their provider and protector I must get back to peak level fitness. If your goal is to keep me honest and motivated as a brother then I thank you for your motivation.

I didn’t want YT to have any issues with my video and remove it before people could see the truth. Hikepros has a lot of money they’ve made lying about their equipment. They’ve even paid RUclipsrs to lie for them about their helmets. It’s still very obvious what I am saying but the software doesn’t pick it up. I honestly was half expecting to catch a suit over the video. Thankfully I didn’t have to deal with that.

I bought a size Medium, I wear size 32 pants. The right fit for me only uses about 1/3 of the amount of slack. Might could have bought the small but the medium gave me more spaces to work with on the belt. I regret nothing getting the medium. I believe they have a pretty straight forward exchange policy if you feel you bought the right size. Hope this helps you make the right decision for you. Stay safe out there.

To be clear to your point, there is absolutely no substitute to live fire with the platform you’re training on. To that end, there’s so many important aspects to training that don’t require the exact recoil of live fire. Dry fire drills are no less relevant as a training tool because they lack recoil. As I said in the video it is an outstanding reflex and muscle memory tool. In the military they had us do it with BFAs and say pew pew pew. Especially since we all hated cleaning our weapons after blanks. The simunition is terrible to train with especially force on force. The safety is regulated to death, leading to depleted training value. The pistol I showed is a gas operated recoil pistol. I highly recommend you look into them for yourself. There’s airsoft and then there’s MILSIM. These aren’t plastic guns from Walmart. To the same extent they aren’t real guns either. These can be used and practiced with in a suburban backyard with little cost and no major dangers in training with it. It can be used indoors at home if you don’t mind cleaning up bbs. Fired in a garage even. No substitute to live fire but there’s 100% value in the training aspect. Good consistent training equals polished performance. You don’t rise to the occasion when your adrenaline levels spike, you fall back on your trained skills.

Glad I could help!

Bullet fragments are an inconvenient reality

@@mississippimudactual Back face deformation. Arimid catches slugs. No fragmentation to worry about. But the longfris helmets do deform pretty significantly after a few rounds. No problem. I don't plan on standing around waiting on the second round to find out about the deformation.

Yeah man, a lot of rifle rounds will likely penetrate most ballistic helmets. But I would rather have a ballistic helmet that can and should be able to stop a 9mm much less a 22cal sub round.

Thank you for this information. I will do research into Tachelmet to confirm.

Good point about the price. I think a lot of people myself included are attracted to it by the notion that everything it seems is made in China and if you can get it from a reputable source it could be much cheaper. But that’s like getting your prescription medicine from a drug dealer instead of buying from a reputable pharmacy. China is definitely less reputable than a street drug dealer. That’s why I bought it at least. I was lured in by the price and thought I could get it for less. But in the end this is a piece of pro gear that has to work when you need it to.

Dang bro that sucks, but at least it’s now you know how you can’t trust your life with it.

@@mississippimudactual ya I guess the goal now is don’t get shot 😂

I couldn't agree more!

Hikepros is no a no go! Hard pass. Save your money and your life. For the price point I don’t think you can beat a Hard Head Veterans helmet. They are tried and true and have an actual reputation and a real NIJ testing certificate. I am also a huge fan of Team Wendy helmets primarily because they are what I use and have been using for years. With that said you can’t go wrong with either. Best of luck and be safe out there! #HHV #TeamWendy

Thank you, I appreciate the support and feedback. It’s a Carhartt- “RELAXED FIT WASHED DUCK SHERPA-LINED JACKET”. Best work jacket I’ve ever worn. Sportsman’s warehouse had a great price on it when I bought it. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

A bump helmet is a lot lighter and honestly most are better padded and more comfortable. And 3x cheaper unless you buy a really amazing Team Wendy bump. But at the price a lower cost bump is perfectly reasonable unless you’re a pro and you’re wearing it all day. Helmet squeeze is a real thing. Not to mention swampy ears from the comms/ ear pro. I wanted to believe the website until I opened the box and saw it. It’s shameful they’re putting people’s lives at risk. Stay safe out there!

Thank you for taking the time to weigh in and share your expertise. I am a big fan of Hard Head Veterans. I am not a customer of HHV yet but I plan to be soon. I’ve had the opportunity to handle one of your helmets and I was impressed by what it is for what you’re paying. That’s hard to accomplish as a business. Thank you for what y’all are doing and keep up the Outstanding work!

@@mississippimudactual Heck yeah same here, hopefully I will have one their helmets soon, times are tough. I recently had to send them a link to a company that was using HHV certification sheets to try and sell to the market in the same fashion. The company was even showing Wendy ballistic helmets with HHV cert sheets. Stay away from Ballisticamp and also Helmetbro

$199 helmet does though. Handgun rounds anyway. Botach/Longfris ballistic helmet. It's cheap chinesium but it works. Back face deformation is pretty severe though.

Happy to have done it. I am happy to know it’s helping people. Didn’t think much about it when I was making the video but there’s been a lot of people who have been informed by it. Believe it or not I’ve had a huge amount of men in the Ukraine that have watched it. At one point it was 50% of all views. Hard Head Veterans is a good option. Not sponsored or endorsed by them just know them to be a solid, reputable, and affordable company.

I sent ah few 😂

Very true, I am sure there are many lettered agencies that would disagree. Although, to me, getting shot from over the top of my head means I’ve made some serious tactical errors along the way. Either way getting shot in the helmet is a crap day all the way around. Getting hit in the helmet would rock your world even if it doesn’t penetrate. You’d be grateful it caught it but that shock might just as likely lead to a lull in your return fire and lead you to become a lead sponge. At the end of the day it all comes down to either luck or the almighty. If one or both is on your side nothing can be against you.

Absolutely, you have my express permission to send it to the BBB or anyone you’d like. I really can’t believe they’re still marketing and selling them. I also blame Facebook for promoting them.

There are lvl III rated helmets, more likely than not items that up armor helmets will be rated for intermediate cartridges. None are $200

I did not know that. Haha that’s priceless.

There isn't much in the way of headgear that even claims to stop a 5.56, let alone achieves it. 1sg had a good point, but I hope nobody was surprised to learn 3a helmets don't stop rifle rounds lol

This makes no sense.

Bump helmet are non ballistic

The cut of the helmet has no bearing on the protection, that's just how much area coverage you're getting, but you're right that *most* ballistic helmets are rated for 3a. Highcom makes ACH clones and, among their selection, a supposedly rifle-rated RCH model with low, medium, and high cut options. Level 3+ iirc. Would very much like to see someone test it, as it's over $2000, but they're out there.
