Pulse Nightclub Terror Attack
Artillery and Mortars are the no. 1 killer in large (and some small) conficts. Ballistic helmets are great for mitigating shrapnel, well, at least until someone builds a better mousetrap. Armor always wins until someone makes a faster, more dense projectile/fragmentation.....and then back to the drawing boards for armor.
Not many 9mm in a firefight. How do they hold up to 7.62x39?
Would the helmet stop a rifle round? Or even a .357 round shot from a lever action carbine?
Why hollow points? Wouldn’t a heavy, lead-cored fmj be much more of a threat to armor than a projectile designed to spread on impact with soft tissue.
CAPT McIlhenny's helmet and the sword he took from the Japanese soldier after he killed him on Guadalcanal.
“it does actually stop almost all of the bullets”
Oh, “almost all”? What a relief...
I know a guy who was testing ballistic helmets for the Army. He said making them withstand multiple rounds was easy, but still fatal as the shock internally goes right to the brain.
Which is why you put the crosshairs a fraction of an inch below the lower edge of the blue helmet.
