    I’ve personally seen two different guys in Iraq that took shots to the head to where the round penetrated, followed the contour of their head, and then exited the helmet (ACH). Both guys had nasty lacerations of the skin but nothing penetrated into the skull. (Both lived)
    Admittedly, I do not know what they were hit with. Probably 7.62x39, possibly x54r. I’d be interested to see this test done with those rounds and with some facsimile of a head/skull.
    Regardless, I love your channel ❤️

      Might have to do a little small arms research to find out what they were using in Iraq.
      Obviously the M855 used in this video was designed for this purpose.
      Looking into the history of the M855, which itself is an FN SS109 equivalent _(adopted by NATO in 1979)_ might provide some useful data.
      Those trials specifically involved firing at steel helmets at extended ranges.
      It’s worth noting that the terminal ballistics of rounds like M855 have come into question, specifically because those trials optimized penetration over terminal effect on soft targets.

      @@chost-059 Probably because they had them? France had just emerged as a battleground from WWII, so I presume some elements were done on a budget.
      100mm is unusual for Western tank cannons, but has been used for decades up to that point (and decades since) on naval guns. And the shells were probably the same as those used on the naval guns, which had an AP shell for them.
      Not unusual, given that a lot of tank cannons from that era were based on, or used the same ammunition as existing field guns, naval artillery, or anti-aircraft weapons. The US 3" M7 and 76mm M1 guns in WWII used identical shells albeit with different cases, the 3" directly coming from the 3" M1918 anti-aircraft gun, itself a modified US Navy cannon whose shells were in fact directly compatible with each other's, although using different cases. The German 88mm on the Tigers were based on anti-aircraft guns, and the 37mm on the FT was taken directly from a light trench cannon.

    Most guys survive these headshots because frankly the human skull is extremely hard, so the velocity loss + deformation from the kevlar usually results in the round 'bouncing' off the human head, hence why there is usually a laceration still left on their head.

    Hey Oxide, I've had a thought about making my own bastardized slap plate out of a titanium Sfera helmet. After seeing how well the ZSH performed with thin aluminum layer, I'd be interested in seeing the practicality of combining my LSHZ-2DTM helmet with the Sfera. Eventually when I get orders to head home from this deployment I'll work on seeing how much modification would be needed to combine the two. Being that you've tested both I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts, and if the fitment works well enough and requires little machining I'd be more than happy to send over another titanium Sfera for testing with the remains of your Vulcan. Thanks for all the informative and entertaining videos you make and best regards.

    A 5.56 round coming out of an 18" barrel still isn't enough.
    Reject the 5.56, embrace the 6-7mm caliber.

      What do you mean it isn't enough? It went through the helmet at 550m.

    This needs to be shown to Tarkov Devs. I'm tired of my M855 rounds not doing jack shit.

    Sad that Tarkov doesn't implement these kinds of things with longer barrels
