Alas, never though to do a video on it... I was surprised that the 10mm penetrated, but not the .357. I also was surprised by the carbine result. Now it is possible that the helmet was 'weakened' by previous hits. I am so curious is it offers any protection v. rifle fire at 200+ yds. The helmet we tested as quite a few holes and dents in it. There were some deflections, even though we tried hard to hit it square on. I'd have to say the helmet offers protection against pistol rounds. We only had the one helmet. We fired about 30-40 rounds at it. If we do this again, I will try to make a video, or at least splice together some phone videos. The .357 clearly dented it. The .40SW as well. 2 of 3 10mm rounds penetrated. None of the hollow points did (9mm, .40SW or .45ACP which is all we tested).
