That explains a lot! Thanks!

@Félix Sánchez so your telling me there’s a chance lol

If you're looking for a steel helmet, you shuld really try to get your hands on an East German M56, it's widely considered to be the one that offers the best protection. I remember it stopping steel cored 9mm and .357 quite well from other video tests.

I picked up a romanian (or hungarian idk) copy of the ssh40 for 30$ on sportsman's guide, looks exactly like the russian one. It's a bit heavy and has some marks but it's a really great deal. To get a helmet that well performing for that cheap is a steal. Ditch the 400 dollar zoomer tac helmets and return to gopnik militia tradition.

@@paulcziganj4257 It can also be used as soup bowl for a whole family

Which makes sense, since the most common military pistol round in eastern Europe, and the most common military pistol round period.

I'm starting to think the 6B14 might actually be a pretty good helmet.

Different wars. Introducing even the lowly Adrian helmet in WWI decreased deaths from head injury by 60%.

I would if the rounds mounted bullet upwards in a hat would act as reactive armor and slow down the incoming projectile.

@@dewlittle1211 I've even heard somewhere that WW1 helmets were even better for protection against shrapnel impact, but that was at least a year ago if memory serves right.

@@danmorgan3685 The Stahlhelm was a lot more effective when it came to protecting the users neck and the back of the head from shrapnel. It was heavier and it made you deaf tho.

@@danmorgan3685 "different wars" you say and then compare WW1, where they used an average of hundreds of pounds of explosive per death, to a guerrilla war fought without explosives. You dropped your clown nose

It is the 6B47 which is an armamid helmet and is the latest Russian army helmet. Part of their Ratnik upgrade.

@@darkon112 I maybe have to rephrase... not necessarily surprised, but since I have a 6b47 and the direct comparison to said German helmet I expected the Russian example to not bulge under the .357 quite as much. Deformation - yes. Possibly a serious head injury - yes. But not that hammerblow

Wait a minute, I have seen you somewhere

CANT WAITTA GETTA SMELLA THEES

It seemed like the titanium helmets offered better protection and coverage, but I could be completely wrong

Something to consider is that virtually no military uses subguns or pistols in a standard combat environment. Just about everything is a high velocity small bore bullet. There is in many ways not a purpose to having an army helmet that stops most pistol rounds. Fragmentation protection is infinitely more important.

@@lardthing7417 Altyns are kinda meh, they're heavy and are worse than regular modern ballistic helmets, like most bad things (the SCAR) video games have hyped them up.

@@piotrgrzelak2613 The vast majority of helmets are only Level III-A protective materials, per NIJ 0108.01, are rated to stop 124 grain 9mm FMJ rounds as well as 240 grain 44 Magnum, each at a nominal velocity of 1,400 feet per second. Helmet protection is more about ricochet than straight stopping force.

@@hagostaeldmann The vast majority of helmets are Level III-A protective materials, per NIJ 0108.01, are rated to stop 124 grain 9mm FMJ rounds as well as 240 grain 44 Magnum, each at a nominal velocity of 1,400 feet per second. The stop bullets with ricochets not the actual rating of the helmet (III-A helmets who shug aside 7.62x54r if the angle isn't good enough). Fragmentation isn't any more important especially when considering most of these are helmets and not full face shields so frags will still end you and so will the concussive force ... that's just Russian logic because they can't make decent armor ... they're helmets are basically rated as Oakleys lol.

Don't. It's all about doctrine. Russian doctrine states that helmets are only required to prevent shrapnels wounds, not direct bullets hits ! It's a dual doctrine that stands since WW1 ! Yo want either a heavy but bullet proof helmet for some rare case of "one stray bullet" ends in your forehead or protect your whole army against massive shelling from enemy artillery ? Odds are inclining toward massive shelling to be more likely to happen. Of course, they got "special application" helmets that are bullet proof but what's the point giving them to your whole army for such low odds ?

@@Real_Claudy_Focan maybe you are right. But maybe nowadays we can make something better with same weight.

Напротив, 6б47 на этом видео превзошел сам себя, он не должен был выдержать .357 от слова совсем. Он рассчитан только на стальною пулю 9х18 и на свинцовую пулю нагана. Но спешу тебя обрадовать Армоком, собирается делать их из СВМПЭ и вроде как ни должны стать попрочнее.

@@alexk3879 видимо я плохо смотрел) Спасибо за инфу, надо будет глянуть.

Huh...Ukrainian army helmet is better than...just ugly

They supposedly offer the same level of protection as a PASGT, but there's only one way to find out for sure.

@John Wayne yeah, the PLA overall is a paper tiger. US forces that have trained with PLA troops have also commented on their lack of training, which isn't surprising because the PLA focuses more on teaching troops to be loyal to the CCP than on actual tactics and survival skills.

@John Wayne So.....good? And what's the evidence behind the first two? *Disclaimer: This is out of pure curiosity.

@John Wayne Hm. I can only partially agree with the aircraft engine aspect. The Chinese have recently started producing aircraft with their own engines: the WS-10B and C along with the WS-20. However their engine tech is still behind the US’s level despite it being good enough for its current purpose. As for size, I definitely agree with you for now since it is obvious they wanna catch up in displacement tonnage for ships. For electronics, I’m not familiar with em, so I can’t judge. However, how are their naval personal crap? As of now, I haven’t heard much about them being incompetent. They haven’t caused any accidents that I heard of nor have their ships stalled in the middle of the ocean.

The General Director of the Center for High Strength Materials noted that, according to the experience of armed conflicts, soldiers are hit first and foremost by shrapnel. That is why the emphasis was placed on anti-shrapnel protection in the design of the helmet, and the bullet was seen as the equivalent of a heavy, high-speed shrapnel

@@michaelp3739 Definitely. All helmets are designed for shrapnel before anything else, not going to dispute that at all.

He was pretty pissed off about the ops core

The difference is that the 6b47 is standard issue helmet for the entire russian amred forces meanwhile the ops core is only used by special forces

@@fishyfish6050 special forces get worse helmets than regulars? Some how that looks worse lol

​@@fishyfish6050ECH is basically standard issue now and has similar deformation.

What a bullshit

Lmao do You Even know what cannon fodder is?

"Oh God Russian gear really is trash"

Do you wear NIJ III or IV plates?

But it's a problem the moment you _do_ get shot at

It's basically a bump helmet, lol.

The British, Italian, Dutch, and German militaries still use similar suspension systems. US M1 pot and PASGT helmets did as well, which is what I was issued back in the day. There's actually a significant airspace between the internal suspension (when worn) and the shell of the helmet itself, such that ~20mm of deformation wouldn't even reach the side of the head. The reviewer seems unaware of this. Not saying the newer "football helmet" pad systems aren't better, but that this old style isn't necessarily garbage.

@@fallout1116 the problem is you cant wear over ear protection with it or use the crappy russian gssh "head sock" variety. Also modern pads have a rating of their own to dampen the bfd. Also modern team Wendy cloudliner and other helmet have plastic cooling vents too

Both. Helmet weight is unsuspended weight and really fucks with your neck more than it might seem. To me, it seems that the regular army only get frag helmets, while the strike teams kicking doors for a living will get the heavier law enforcement k pots that stop bullets. Heat retention is also a factor I think. I'd reckon the old suspension bucket dissipate heat better than foam pads.
