Great job! Your video from a couple of years ago was the determining factor on what plate carrier and plates from tactical x man.. your efforts has saved me from making some expensive errors. Your test helped me then and now is another item for looking into. Thank You brother for your time, help and advice! Your efforts and content is Right On! Love your show! Again Thank You!
With it being larger for most people will actually be a good thing due to the bullet deformation that is caused when it stops higher rated rounds thrown at it. This will help prevent injuries due to the helmet smacking the skull after it stops the bullet. The most crucial factor is that the user would ensure that it is properly fitted when they go to use it to ensure that it doesn’t shift when moving or being struck to end up causing it to make contact with the person it should be protecting.
I've been noticing that my subscription to your channel hasn't been severed again(so far), but the notification rate has been changed it least twice. If was changed from "all" to the minimal setting. Just thought you should know. Thank you for another informative and educational video, your humor in the way you deliver it is a bonus. 🇺🇲
The other thing is, taking that much kinetic energy to your noggin, is probably going to break your neck A .460 S & W is delivering more than twice the number of foot pounds to break your neck (2600 ft/lbs vs 1,000 to 1200 ft/lbs). Good review Mike, and good coverage over a wide number of points.
Just a daily reminder that King George III would have been a huge supporter of the NFA, and of increasing funding to the ATF. Freedom is taken, never given.
That might be the most politically illiterate analogy i have ever heard. Hurr durr kInG gEoRgE wOuLd HaVe SuPpOrTeD tHe NFA. A least put in a modicum of effort.
@@MaxwellAerialPhotography So, to be clear, your contention is that King George would *not* have been in favor of gun control and gun confiscation? You do know that King George and Parliament literally tried to confiscate and over-regulate guns, which directly caused the Founders to write the 2nd Amendment, I assume? If not, I suggest reading up on the Restraining Acts of 1774.
Depends, he might have supported disarming the colonies completely, since he probably them as rebellious, although it might have been different before tensions arose between the colonies and Britain, also I have some doubts on whether he would have been in favor of an nfa for British citizens, and for the colonies he would just try and confiscate all firearms outright, so I doubt he would have viewed a piece of legislation as necessary or sufficient.
Nice helmet. Would you recommend another helmet (better) or buy this one. Impressive that it stopped the 5.7 and 460. I’d like something with thick trauma pads to avoid a cracked dome lol.
Pretty cool and informative video. Really, if shot by any high impact projectile while wearing any IIIA or greater helmet, you would be out of the fight, even if there were no penetration or serious backface deformation. The impact would ring your bell to such a degree as to render you "stunned for life" with really bad neck problems... if not a broken neck. So, wear any helmet with the knowledge it largely protects you from bumping your head, and its a great place to mount your NODs, thats about all. Anything greater than .22 caliber rimfire and your going home to sit on the porch and to watch the sunset. Best case scenario.
I would be interested in a review of the old Vietnam era steel pot compared to the more modern stuff. A historical reference of then compared to today.
M1 steel pot helmets were not bulletproof they were designed to stop shrapnel. Most shrapnel travels at about four or five. Maybe he may be 600 feet per second and his little shards of metal and wood debris and things like that. I've seen people on RUclips shooting in one helmets. 9 mm goes through it. 380 ACP goes through it 38 special goes through it
I don’t usually like asking people to review certain things because no one can do everything, but if you can could you test a Team Wendy EXFIL ballistic helmet sometime? I’ve been wanting to buy one but I have to save up and I want to know what exactly it’ll do. Please and thank you :)
Just look at the test data on the TW website. They do plenty of mil/leo contracts and have been around long enough with a good track record that I would trust their certifications/ratings for bump and ballistic protection.
@@staycoolproductions I get it, but you’re asking somebody to write off a >$1000 helmet for destructive testing, and TW doesn’t need the extra publicity/sales (or maybe they do, I guess one can always ask them for a sample).
Thumbs up for larping in the back yard last night lol When I see helmets give a lot, I wonder what the odds are for cracking a skull? I mean, beats the alternative- but I wonder if a secondary inner shell wouldn't be a bad concept
I’m interested in hearing about your 3M. Will the 3M stop ANY rifle rounds? I’ve seen footage of a soldier talking a 7.62 to the forehead and thought he just bumped his head.
It will deflect a good amount, i think ive seen the same video, could have been a glancing hit to the forehead(most likely because it didnt seem to ring his bell much)
The one I mentioned is the mich, like he says but the one I asked about is the high cut 3M that was flashed in the video for about one second. But it’s a mid-tier priced helmet
@@Brandon-dl4ww Most rifle round stops the bullet has slowed down from drag to the point where it is closer to a handgun round impact than a rifle round. Even after just 100 yards, a rifle bullet has slowed down to the speed of that of an SBR. The ECH is probably the strongest baseline helmet shell out there, although many high end manufacturers like MTEK have that same capability. You can make a cheaper helmet shell stop rifle rounds at closer range if you use an armor up but it adds a lot of weight to the front so the value is questionable.
Firstly, love your channel. Secondly, in the US Marines in Iraq, our helmet or Kevlar as we called them, if they were compromised at all, we would switch it out. Just saying, blasting at the same helmet..?? Uhhh, I would hate to have that helmet on, lol...another great video.
Great video - slow mo is great! And can't help but enjoy the obvious pleasure you get. Just FYI I like some other of your fans appreciate best in class for a specific price point. Your best AR for $1K video closed the deal for me with IWI. If this helmet is the low end at $400 I was wondering if we could get a "Best Ballistic Helmet for $800 (2X)" video? Would sure appreciate your thoughts - especially around backface deformation of the winner.
Hey Mike can you test some gear from Helmet Camp. Appears to be unrealistically inexpensive for helmets and night vision. Would be nice to see how bad or good there stuff really is. Thanks and great video as always.
Everytime I see a helmet test it makes me think of my Sr. Drill telling us, a brain bucket doesn't stop the bullet, it stops your brains from splattering all over you battle and him freaking out. Only person I knew preGWOT with 2 CIBs.
I just think they're so big. You wear the helmet and that's what they'll see and shoot at because you're a bigger target. But also, I doubt a shiny bald head is much better so maybe it's worth it.
Catching a bullet in the head even armored is going to be a broken neck and/or TBI or dead. Would be nice to have a shock or g-meter inside the helmet to measure the trauma that is still going to be transmitted to your skull and brain.

To TRULY identify failures by caliber, you should've used the highest velocity round, if it pierces then use the conventional.. i.e. to prove 5.7x28mm start with the nastiest, vanguard black fang or ss198. If it passes through THEN check federal slow boys at 600+fps slower and dull tipped.
I'm gonna be honest it's a horrible option and there is a better alternative route for a helmet that can save a person's life without severe back face deformation. A person can get a galvion viper helmet, or even a Gentex helmet (without rails & shroud) at a similar price point that has the proper testing behind it alongside quality control. Additionally, if it's just to hold nods or ear pro & a person isn't doing live-fire CQB lasses then a team Wendy bump would be the best deal. The helmet gunsngear went over is flawed as while a bullet does not goes through a person's head they'd either end up a vegetable from a severe TBI or die from an internal brain bleed. It's much better in my book to buy something that can save your life should an SHTF scenario ever occur. Kind Regards, Julian
@@ez56789 hard head veteran has backface issues too all they're helmets come from botach in China without proper qc. He's best off buying a gentex tbh shell with his own choice of pads, retention etc or a galvion viper

Same here, I won't rest till I find one. LoL. I've seen shooters with this same hat at Camp Perry at the High Power National's in the past. Perhaps that might help point you towards sourcing one.
I know this was asked somewhere else, but how do you use a headset/hear muffs with this helmet? I just can't see how the rail works with the ear coverage? Is there enough space under the helmet to wear a headset?
dude I don't mean to sound like a Fudd, but that 1911 and the 686plus w/ 4inch barrel are some sweet pistols... then u bring out a 460 S&W w/ 8" barrel...lol #ouch
I’m some instances I feel it would be better without a helmet, the shot might narrowly miss your head without it, but enough of that back face deformation would fracture your skull and be killed instantly.
10:30 - Are you sure about that? because it looks like it hit at the very top of the top velcro at the very top of the helmet. I don't see anything hitting that mounting bracket, and the deformation you are pointing out is the 9mm indent.
Yeah but that same round to the head without the helmet on would mean absolute death. I’d probably rather have an injury I could very possibly come back from than half my brain missing lol.

@@Mrgunsngear Thanks. Would have asked on FB, but don't have an account there. Maybe someone else has tried some. If I don't hear from others by Monday, I'll probably go ahead and order 10 boxes (free shipping for 10+ boxes) and run out and test it right quick, then order more if it runs fine.
I recommend you get a xl ops core if you can’t afford one get a older surplus ach helmet do not buy any high cuts online under 700 they are all Chinese junk
This is great! More helmet reviews, please!
I know it's expensive, but I wonder how well an ops core with the SLAAP armor can withstand.
Is there a slap for the back? Instead of weights or batteries why not extra protection? ( I've only seen for the front minus the nvg mount space)
LOL
It's on sale from $1200 dollars to $100 dollars. Must be discontinuing?
@presidenttnediserp428 Yeah apparently. Probably too much weight for the average head and neck to stay comfortable.
You get such a thrill out of shooting armor, fun to watch.

That shows that bullet shape is important. That 300blk sub sonic and 45ACP are probably going about the same speed.
Naaaah that .300 BO still has it by at least 200 fps. That’s a big difference
Sectional density is what you’re looking for
@@bonsaw57 yeah you're right. Thought he was using some 180gr 45ACP.
Even though they are separated by 200fps in this case I still think the helmet would have stopped a 45ACP doing 1050FPS like what the 300BLK is doing.
Most definitely
Dick Cheney’s hunting buddies need those. 😎

That Federal American Eagle isn't even real 5.7x28 ammo.
It's loaded so light it's more like a 5.7 Special.
The large fit is likely to compensate for the internal deformation

Maybe not. The 9mm imprint was closer to the front, and what you are touching is towards the rear of the helmet.

Probably not if the sub .300 blkout penetrated

What helmet would you recommend for a size 8 fathead like myself?
I recommend you get a xl ops core if you can’t afford one get a older surplus ach helmet do not buy any high cuts online under 700 they are all Chinese junk
If you like armor videos and tests, I have an organized playlist with over 300 videos
