Thanks much to www.weaponoutfitters.com/ for sponsoring and providing the helmets And elementrange.com/ for providing the venue

Shoutout to Army Psy Ops for making better recruitment than whatever actual department is responsible for recruiting.

I always wanted to see an OpsCore SF penetration test since Garand Thumb said there are 2 rifle rated variants of it. Guess at least one of them wasn't very good after all lol

7:47 monster of a NV scope for a 9mm pcc i love it

Literally we are just buying the name not protection

send me hair and i will send moar helmet

I can't believe that Bryce prefers Van Patten's ballistic high cut helmet to mine

The length on the wood stud generated the leverage to snap it. The neck is shorter.

Absolutely love what you do, very informative and interesting all around. Also great opening with the 80s style VHS and everything.

1:01 dawg??? 💀

I'd like to see you test the Airframe next. All of these videos have been super helpful and eye opening.

Amazing work as always 💯

everytime you post a new video its like a holiday and it makes my day watching it

This video has me realizing why we haven't seen the army or marines adopt opscore helmets. Because you are paying a premium for what seems like the same exact ballistic protection. For once this seems like a smart move by the military.

6:13 damn, that opscore SelfDefense™ mode is only found on the most gucci of helmets. you lucked out oxide

Very nice test, looking forward to more.

Damn....I tip my hat for you spending your own money doing these tests. Keep at it Oxide!

Excellent edits Prism :D

opscore sf owner. I expected better, but my main purpose for having a helmet is light weight ability to hold night vision and coms. I got this over the bump for added frag protection. Crazy results though. It doesn't make me not want my helmet, but it's good to know the limitations. Everything can fail at a certain point.

a great one, love the vhs style, keep doin man.

Love to see a Team Wendy ballistic helmet tested! Also can't wait for the Hard Head Veterans test

Keep up the good work your saving lives with this information

love the VHS optics!! (the part around 1:25 is seriously painful to watch tho....which is also kinda cool)

Been waiting for this.

Hot damn. Well, feeling pretty good about getting my ACH professionally cut to a Maritime pattern now.

I don't care how cute the women are, I am NOT reenlisting

There's a little known law that affects the price. It's often why stuff is so high. A helmet or any other item a company sells at a marked up price to get rich off the military contracts has a rule. They can't turn around and sell the same item to the public for a cheaper, more realistic price. So companies like these have no choice when they bite into those juicy government contracts. If they sell the exact item to the public for a real price they'll lose the contract. Sometimes companies will try and skirt this and make a civilian model so they can double dip so to speak. Most are just content with charging the gov a high price. It's part of how they justify the price gouge, because they can't sell mass amounts like other products to the civilian market too. Not sure what the laws name is. But I hear it's why some rifles are crazy expensive. I'm sure it applies to all items and not just rifles tho. Good video thanks

Love your vids Oxide!

I'd love to see a test of a "home cut" ACH or ECH with the classic methods of reinforcing/epoxying the cuts... We poors need answers! 😂

Music is giving me memories of NXXXXS vibes and this was a wonderfully informative test. I had been thinking of getting one of these in the near future but I guess my credit card can breath a little easier now.

I suspect that in many of the cases where Ops-Cores or similar helmets did stop rifle rounds, it was because those rounds were fired from a longer distance rather than point blank range.

This one I'm particularly excited for

Very cool, my brain now has severe TBI inducing deformation.

WooWW shocking result

I wore my opscore on three deployments. Never thought It'd save me from a full AK, but frag, sure. Mostly I loved the Peltor and NOD support. And the fact it made the 75th Easily more identifiable. Never hated the weight.

This is pretty damn eye opening really I honestly thought theyd perform better considering the price. I knew the sf would deform worse because the sacrifice of protection for weight savings but honestly thought it wouldn't be as bad as it was. Pretty deceptive marketing on opscores part thanks for the quality content.

Thank you for the info

Love the new graphics style

Very cool

thanks for giving such an unbiased review

This makes me happy that I got the gentex high cut instead of these newer options.

Banger (literally)

It’s a good day to see an oxide video

I can't wait to see the SLAAP plate tests

Thanks for going so far to test it

Liking this editing style

Thank you for your service solider.

Great video, thanks for putting this out there. In OpsCores defence there is more to a helmet than just the protection offered like features, "wearability ", quality of manufacture etc etc. But agreed the cost does seem excessive compared to similar offerings from other manufacturers.

i love these armor test

Perfection yoo!!!....

Luv u oxide u fr got me into msw

It would be interesting to see some U-Arms helmets and slap on's tested. But yeah, good luck getting them

Very Cool

If you ever get a chance id like to see how the tw line holds up love your vids

RF1! RF1! RF1! I wanna see this one tested so badly. 😩 Please Oxide. Please.

I agree with the opcore part, they are pretty expensive unlike their competitors who do sell quite cheaper, but it's probably because of their name in the helmet industry

Nice 👌

This is why I'm just waiting for one of my Marine buddies to sneak out one of their new high cut ECHs.

also very based to still give such a harsh and honest review after the company was so generous to you keep that up!

I love the almost uncanny 90’s computer editing

Oooffff

If you wore the ops core xp and got shot with that 7.62x39 your skull would have been caved in and you'd be dead.

based

Very nice

Doing the lords work destroying these helmets

Cool video, I love you

I would love to see you test the galvion viper series of helmets at some point. Can't send one over tho, I'm in worse financial shape than you lol.

Oxide, bro u are becoming more and more one of my favorite content makers. So a warrant now? Good job brother, congrats. What will u be or want to fly? Stay safe brother! Airborne!

I simple man. I see Oxide video, I watch, I talk shit and argue in comments. I happy

would love to see you test helmet/armour at higher ranges , the recent garand video about 22lr keeping the balistic lethality over 500m kinda blew my mind

You should've put a dummy head or a watermelon in it. When you leave it empty you're just allowing room for the polyethylene to expand. It's like stabbing a piece of paper that's in the air vs stabbing one that's against a backing of some sort. Now I could be completely wrong but I think it'd allow you to see damage to a would be skull due to deformation

Nice visuals

Subbed and hit the notification button.

When will you be testing your issued flight helm???

While you're testing Western helmets could you take a look at the cry airframe frag and ballistic helmets

I'd really like to see some Team Wendy tests one day

Now that highcom pulled out a 3.5lbs rifle rated bucket, I eagerly await seeing you destroy that thing

Maybe with a Carbon fiber or titanium liner frame on the inside it might not have as bad of back face deformation.

Would it be possible to use a ballistic dummy gel head to see how bad those BFD would actually be.

Still gonna buy cause cool velcro arrangement and my thick head will compensate for lack of ballistic protection.

Big fan from Bangladesh, sir

I have always been suspect of the bragging opscore does about how light it's helmets are

now the question is how the older OpsCores compare, LBH, MT, XP, etc.

I currently have a Fast HC which makes me wonder if its somewhere inbetween the RF1 an SF or lower

Broo no way he tests the opscore YEEEAA!

u just motivated me to going shooting at elm tmrw

Wonder if adding a metallic outer attachment would give it more protection against rifles

rf1 and Wendy, must

Weapon outfitters is a dope company

Ever thought about getting one of those ballistic heads, putting a helmet on them and see what happens to the skull when you shot the helmet?

I'm coming down to Rucker next month to start

You used the Norinco I sent you after all this time. Thanks I really love to see it went to good use.

@0:35 nice

They should add the scent，maybe some people will consider that's worth the price.

Let the tears flow.

Making it heavier obviously, but could a titaniumoxide-titanium shell over the fibre not reduce the amount of energy that gets dumped into the fibre?

Hi Oxide. Would love to see you do something similar with western helmets as you did wit the russian ones. Were you compared the old ww2 steel helmets up to the more modern ones. I'm curious to see how the M1 would stack up today. We see from the ukraine war that old surplus gear from as far back as ww2 May stil be presses into service.

So whats your opinion on HHV helmets? Does the low price justify the performance?

Alright, team Wendy SL next!

i cant wait for the HHV ATE gen 2 Test i hope my investment into one was worth it
