What if You Shoot a Helmet With an AK-47?

Is it possible for a helmet that is only rated to the NIJ IIIA standard to stop a 7.62x39 round in a combat environment? We know we've heard loads of stories and even have some employees who have seen it happen, so we decided to take some helmets out to experiment.

In this video, you're going to witness a ballistic experiment where we over-stress one of our Gen2 ATE helmets with 9mm, and another where we shoot a helmet at 300 yards with 7.62x39 to simulate how a combat save outside of the helmet's threat limitations could occur. Keep in mind, these are not official tests, they're just experiments.

Let us know down in the comments what kind of experiments you would like to see next!
