ARCH gen 3 ballistic helmet is made by Protection Group Denmark and uses aramid fibers as the main ballistic material. The helmet is approved for NIJ 0106.01 level 3A and additionally to V50 ballistic test according to STANAG2920.
The manufacturer claims that this helmet reduces 9mm back face deformation by 50% (HPW-TP-0401.01B IIIA)
We sell these helmets but we never really understood what these fancy designations mean in practice... until we tested one. As you can see from the video, the performance of this ballistic helmet surpassed all our expectations.

Let's be honest here, there is slight difference between "it stops .50AE" and "it would protect the wearer from .50AE". I was impressed that it ate a 7.62x25 round with apparently no problem, usually it's expected its higher velocity and smaller diameter would defeat 3A.

@the7observer Год назад

really depends on the type of 7.62x25 used, there are light loads that make it slower and there hot loads that make it go fast pottentially increasing range and penetration. Can go from 1200ft/s (376m/s) to loads up to almost 1600ft/s (497m/s). I couldn't find which ammo type was used in PPSH during WW2 by the soviets but they had whole companies equipped only with PPSH SMGs for suppression, covering flanks, covering front, etc (battel order at 7:51 in ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jSiTohahL7k.html)

@czwarty7878 Год назад

@@the7observer yeah the penetration power of 7.62x25 is kinda a meme at this point and rather overrated. I think only the czech steel core +P would actually have chance to penetrate IIIA. Standard 7.62 TT is definitely not more powerful than .357 SIG. About PPSh Avtomatchiki units, I heard they did have separate ammo for TT pistols and PPSh-s, supposedly with steel core and more power for SMG, but what is actual energy and penetration of these is very hard to find.

G-Day Guy's, I hope this isn't a stupid question, but here it goes. What is the shelf life expectancy of a ballistic helmet that hasn't been shot or damaged ? Cheers for the review 🙃🙃🙃🦘🦘🦘

@PolenarTactical Год назад

Not stupid at all. Shelf life depends on the material and storage conditions. What you usually see stated by the manufacturer 5-10 years is only their guarantee. Most ballistic materials like kevlar and UHMWPE are super stable and resistant to oxidation and a lot of chenicals. Bonding agents can be more sensitive to temperature, UV, chemicals and outside force. There were certain ballistic materials like spectra and goldflex that deteriorate with moisture and continuous use. But for most ballistic material the shelf life in a dry space with no direct UV light is almost unlimited. There were tests done on 30 year old kevlar vests that still worked

@RCZM64 Год назад

We tested a 15-years-past "expiration date" level III vest panel and it still stopped 9mm military ball consistently. Of course, it was from a reputable maker.

@PolenarTactical Год назад

@@RCZM64 Aramid fibers like Kevlar are super resistant and do not expire by itself. But there was a new material similar to Spectra, i think it was Z-shield or something like that, that was quite sensitive to moisture and temperature degradation. It was produced by a reputable company but those ballistic vests degraded so much after years of use in police, that some officer died because it failed to stop the rounds. So it depends on the material, aramid fibers and good UHMWPE should be stable and last for many decades

@RCZM64 Год назад

@@PolenarTactical sorry for the lack of context. Of course good companies can put out bad products.

Nothing much, rifle powder is slower burning than pistol powder. It would still fire but not all of the powder would burn and the velocity of the bullet would be reduced

@PolenarTactical Год назад

Fun fact, you can actually use certain rifle powder for .50 AE rounds for Desert Eagle but mine doesn't want to cycle it consistently. So i have to use faster burning magnum powder

@psychopathmedia 10 месяцев назад

3:57 A foam head is more elastic than a real head, which gave the helmet more space to flex. On a real person's head it likely would've penetrated due to the reduced flexibility. I think comparing with a head made of wood or some other dense material would be interesting to see as well and how it compares to the foam one. I believe it was your channel which also demonstrated a Chinese impact-resistant (non-ballistic) face visor capable of defeating birdshot and you also surmised something similar that it was due to the flexibility of the visor. Same idea
