Re: Ballistic Helmet Testing Part 2
nice review buffman. Where did u get that helmet at? I have my own AP round I reload which goes through 2 level 3a's body armor. I am pretty damn certain it would go through the helmet but you never know!!! anyway you should test the varmintor round next.
Re: Ballistic Helmet Testing Part 2
I picked it up off a local forum. It's a standard US gov't surplus helmet..

Re: Ballistic Helmet Testing Part 2
I can see S4m does not come close to penetrating so it must be pretty rigid.

Re: Ballistic Helmet Testing Part 2
I tried the same thing back when I did my series of 5.7x28mm tests. I recall the S4M doing slightly more damage, but not even close to a pass-through. I no longer have the helmet, but I also recall it being level III, not IIIa. I could be mistaken though.

Re: Ballistic Helmet Testing Part 2
A level III helmet would be pretty heavy. Anything I've found says most all ballistic helmets are IIIA rated.

What was the most impressive bullet shot through the helmet in your opinion?

probably EA's T6. Amazing that something made of copper can penetrate that well.
