Maybe the real helmets are the friends we made along the way.
Yeah
Depending to the angle that the bullet enters your friend's boddy. It may stop it indeed
Kinda has some dark humor in there
Perhaps the best armor are the friends we made along the way
Sir, you own me a drink because I just spat out mine hahaha
That's fucking gold given the kit mobiki got lol
I think the tragic thing in these tests (both helmets and plates) is that nobody ever does 'glancing blows'. AKA not direct/perpendicular shots. even 15-20 deg I'd imagine yields a lot more chance for survival
100%, we can start incorporating these
@@GarandThumb so much science! 😃
@@GarandThumb and start incorporating 200-300 yard shots from 7.62 5.56 and 308. Thanks
@@GarandThumb Badass Mike. TY for the response; very much appreciated.
Keep up the good work and remember to find time for fam :)
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.
That’s unfortunately too expensive.
@@yaboyed5779that means conclusion is also dogwater
@@HMG2119 true.
In a war you can't change helmets everytime you get hit but for ballistic testing yes it's not good
@@Oleksey1769 not sure what point you are trying to make. In a war you would also not get hit with multiple calibers gradually increasing
Thank you Mike and garand thumb team for everything you share with the people.
I'd say the minimum requirement for a combat helmet is that it can defend from shrapnel and flying debris.
and bump protection

Might as well wear just a balaclava at that point.

I was chuckled at until I was walking on a cold range and heard a gun shot... Everyone respected the helmet thereafter

@@epapa737 This is why everyone who goes to a range should bring a IFAK too. The amount of people that go to ranges and don't even have a tourniquet is too high. Having a chest seal wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Спасибо. Интересный тест🔥👍. Этот шлем пережил гораздо больше "издевательств", чем должен был. По нашей классификации это класс бр1. Основное его назначение, защита от осколков 1,05гр на скорости 630 м/с, при диаметре 6,3мм.
Так ИРЛ очень мало шлемов выше первого класса, ведь задача шлема это остановка вторичных поражающих элементоа на определённой дисстанции, это максимум что шлема должны остонавливать, возможно ещё и пистолетные выстрелы на дисстанции в пару десятков метров
Согласен. Замечу, природа у них как у нас. Видно как наш камуфляж подходит.

It doesn't stop anything if you don't get issued with it, but instead are fobbed off with a stamped aluminium airsoft helmet.

Well... it stopped small fragments from a bullet, but it probably wouldn't stop larger, heavier shrapnel from an artillery round.

@Matthew Jones certain helmets maybe not but saying that in general is false not very many combat helmets can't stop at least pistol rounds
I'm not actually sure they are rated to stop only 9x18. Usually, the helmet visors are, but I feel like I remember these being rated for more.

Отличный обзор!
"For no particular reason, we have the standard handgun of the US military", I straight lol'd.
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.
@@paulbarclay4114 Yeah you could theoretically catch a round from far away or a very oblique angle so that the helmet makes a difference between living and dying but it's such an outside chance you probably shouldn't be factoring it in.
@Paul Barclay there's several instances of an ACH stopping rifle rounds.
And if the helmet catches rifle round, your neck will be fucked
totally agreed ..
@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.

Side by side comparison of US, China and Russian latest Army helmets would be interesting
For no particular reason, of course
I saw recently that new Chinese helmets have an explosive built in them that can be remote detonated if they go awol and I’m not kidding.
@@tsullivan4 wtf💀💀💀💀
Bro Chinese helms got explosives built into em. You could just hack em and end a whole battalions career.
@@tsullivan4 It was just a hoax though
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.
Такой тест не будет корректным, все же пуля это не стальной шарик, медь мягче стали
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!

oh great bloody
excellent working
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.
doing the ushanka quest
Weight makes a massive difference. I have a American issued PASGT helmet, it's like walking around with a 2 kilo weight on your head.
Chads
Bullshit. But weight metter.
How come your not mobilized?
In the next video, we will be testing the ballistics of the Russian MRE (it has superior ballistics than the 6B47)
But less edible
Literally same protection offered by American MICH. )
When I was in basic I got some good ballistics from my MREs....in the port-o-shitter.
@@davidjob4909 Same reason why this exported helmet isn't made out of cardboard.
@@davidjob4909 I guess you ignore the fact of how half your military commutes drugs and steals weapons and ammunition or traffics women?)
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. Excellent protection against various kinds of fragments, while your spine is still not injured when wearing. Also note how deep the helmet covers both the back of the head and the temples
I'd rather have an injured spine than be dead. There are plenty of helmets that stop 7.62x54/51 non AP rounds and allow the wearer to live with a TBI. This helmet is outdated by US standards but still better than nothing.
Once power armor becomes a thing you will have armor capable of stopping .50bmg AP. Then people will be carrying 20mm
@@moonasha standards??? Bro we dropped the good helmets and when with the ops core. It's not even rated for 9mm. The old ECH was a better helmet than the lightweight garbage that is the opscore. PERIOD.
@@ahole5407 who is we? Lol
@@moonasha You don't get it, it would literally tear your spine apart, you'd be just as dead. At that point it's entirely about the energy of the projectile, no penetration needed

@@bolshoibooze8010 Ukrainians have no attack drones left at this point☠
If you're planning to fight people with 855a1 and Sig Spears, I feel like having an ultralight helmet that still protects against shrapnel is probably better than a heavy helmet that stops non-AP rifles which your enemies aren't using
fam we havent even got to M855A1 and .227 Fury and theyre already getting penned
Ukranian special forces got Sig MCX.
@@SmaxyMiguel those are MCX's, but yeah, pretty much same shit
Also as seen in Ukraine 98% of casualties is done by artillery.
@@soriddosuneko I mean, not really the same thing at all. The MCX Spear fires full size rifle rounds while the MCX fires intermediate rounds. The spear specifically fires the ridiculously zippy 6.8x51.
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! You are the best!
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.
Why cant they stop tipped bullets? Making the plate just a little bit thicker should work the AP ammo isnt that different from standard
@Captain Falcon huh? Steel core is not at all the same as lead
@@AlenB29 what you want is an ECH
ECH and IHPS helmets do stop rifle rounds but they are severely deficient in regards to backface deformation vs the ACH.
Source material: Oxide doing tests on the IHPS and any other ECH test out there.
ruzzian - you should write!
12:27 as we see, adding picatinny rail makes this helm pretty modern and modular
I'm genuinely surprised by the old school liner system the 6B47 has, like that shit is on par with old school M1 helmet liners
@@Lo-tf6qt yeah it's quite weird for when the helmet was designed and made. It's not uncomfortable to wear but it definitely takes more time to strap on
Maybe because they use winter caps under it so they need something slick to go around that warm layer
@@Lo-tf6qt The liner is indeed old school and somewhat uncomfortable to wear. But from what soldiers say, it does an amazing job at shock absorption.
Also writing a comment to support. Watch you every week
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
lol no, it’s total shit, not enough propaganda will ever stand up the russian army again. What I love is that this helmet was bought because corrupt politicians and officers sold it on eBay. In the meantime ruskie solders get airsoft helmets and helmets with aluminum plates.
"OMG! you are paid by Russia..OMG, go take your credit social bla bla, OMG you are a Russian troll, OMG you hate America, OMG you are a bla bla bla"
Too bad half of the Russian military are being kitted with recycled helmets from Stalingrad 😂😂
@ужасы войны видел ещё до того как по тг каналам разошлось
I don't think it's that great of a helmet, it would have to be 1/5 the price for it to be worth using for your infantry considering that something like 9mm has enough power to deform it to lethal levels
Referencing the movie "Master and Commander" was a win all by itself. That movie is so underrated IMO.
Also, Charlie at the end just about put me on the floor I was laughing so hard.

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.
6B47 has stopped 5.45x39 in Ukraine.

@@gleisbauer25 reminds me of WW2 when they would get planes back and they would reinforce the areas that were shot most. Except these planes were coming back, so they started reinforcing the other areas and had fewer losses
The question is: "Does this helmet protect the head?"

Helmets are not designed to protect against bullets. They protect from fragments

Charlie somehow looks and sounds even slower than usual once he put that russian PPE on..
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.
That's what foam pads do.
this is the helmet that is not in service with the regulars. and such a good review. friend, you need the quilters to send you what is in service for the test.
That 7:56 synchronized "Oh WOW" chorus LMAO 😂😂😂😂
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.
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.
@@thesayxx Well, my reasoning was mostly thinking about FMJ or other harder-nosed bullets. I just want to see what rounds like 6.5 Creedmoor and 7mm Rem Mag would do personally. I know what 7mm Mag does against deer, I feel like it would be fun to see if anything.
@@thesayxx idk, depends on the armor material. Spalling is not your friend. Also, many common hunting rounds have a lot more velocity and mass behind them than 5.56mm.
KY ballistics has this video
@@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 have to admit, those helmet covers are pretty sweet.

Can understand the way they are thinking when it comes to this helmet, probably cheaper and easier to make(can equip more soldiers with it), stops small artillery/grenade fragments which most likely causing most of the damage in the current war. Both side use hand grenades extensively due to the trench warfare and drone warfare.
I doubt it is very cheap to make, considering the kevlar used in it.
All metal helmets are most likely much cheaper, faster and easier to make for the Russians, but they quickly get heavy if you want decent protection.
The main advantage this helmet has, is the weight.
If you are in a situation where you need to wear a helmet for hours, day after day, and the chances for heavy artillery hitting you is rather small, then this helmet is perfect.
@@carnivore2023 If you consider the fact that Russia is one of the worlds leading textile manufacturers, yeah it's pretty cheap to make.
@@carnivore2023 in civilian sale is around $140, without kit ofc
and for the military it should be much cheaper due to mass production
@@yastyman
I am sure they can make an all metal helmet without kit and sell if with a good profit for $50.
The Chinese can most likely do it for 20$ with a good profit.
You should do all modern military helmets that would be cool
Oxide is already doing this on youtube.
How do you feel about after market right handed bolt catch and release levers, make a videos about the must have little aftermarket parts for a basic ar
This video went to another tier when Charlie referenced "Master and Commander." That is a great movie.
Thank you sir,for your helpful science.
You should do a video with The Slow Mo Guys. That would be pretty epic
The Sergeant in me wants to slap him for not closing the helmets :D But great Vid as always !
I'd love to see this spall test on steel plate body armor with the spall coating and in a carrier.
>Listen to Garand Thumb
>Watch Charlie
I f$&king love Charle he’s too freaking funny
Bra @Garand Thumb what happened to the Knights Armament kac sr 15 video from a year ago? The Dr. House part is my favorite, I missing that greatness.
Can't help but wonder if the damage done by the guns before hand weakened the helmet for the shotgun, etc.
distinct possibility, unfortunately we could only get one of these
@@GarandThumb I think you can get more of those on AliExpress. They say their ceramic plates are competitive too. Polenar made a video testing them.
Only 1 ? I bet eBay has lots...
@@tcsailair7750 everything on aliexpress will be fake. The only way to get a real 6b47 is buying it from someone. No website to my knowledge sells ballistic 6b47's
@@floppa4335 the fakes might be better than the real thing
I Watch all the time hoping you add 5.7x28 to the line up and you never do and since that round was specifically created to do damage to armor I would love to see how these test hold up to it. please add it to your testing
Yeah this is the big facts
Well a very specific kind of 5.7 is made to penetrate armor. Normal 5.7 is basically a glorified .22 mag that is crazy expensive with heavier bullets
That would cost an extra $200,000 dollars, so I doubt they would ever do that.
Вижу этого парня ставлю лайк не задумываясь🤷♂️👍
Is there anything we can do for corrections please. i love your videos.. can we see something to help us out in service?
Any updates on the guy who can shoot a soda can from a crazy distance with a .22? Really hyped for that video
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.
