Grimey Rick 3417 Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) I reviewed the Ballistic Helmet in a previous thread, testing whether or not it actually deflected bullets. Using an identical M4A1 to the one being used in this test, it successfully deflected one (1) bullet before becoming ruined. I am now testing the ZSh3 Pilot Helmet. Target: ZSh3 Pilot Helmet (worn by my kid) Weapon: M4A1, M4 Handguard MP, M4 Buttstock MP, M68 CompM2 Optics, ATLAS Bipod, 30Rnd STANAG (coupled) Result: EDIT: Because edit.

rickyriot 1009 Posted March 11, 2014 Disappointed in that. I had hoped purely from the name alone it would at least provide some level of protection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caboose187 (DayZ) 3036 Posted March 11, 2014 Did you make sure you hit the helmet and didn't shoot him in the face? :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrelist 236 Posted March 11, 2014 I tended to avoid this because they are too bright, but there's another reason I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grimey Rick 3417 Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Did you make sure you hit the helmet and didn't shoot him in the face? :P Yep, shot him in the back of the head, the same spot I shot the Ballistic Helmet. :thumbsup: Edited March 11, 2014 by Grimey Rick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caboose187 (DayZ) 3036 Posted March 11, 2014 Yep, shot him in the back of the head, the same spot I shot the Ballistic Helmet. :thumbsup:Heh, that does suck but as far as I know pilot helmets are designed for impact and shrapnel, not full blown rounds. I could be wrong tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

savini 587 Posted March 11, 2014 I can only imagine the conversation that led up to the testing. Good experiment! Was the ballistic helmet pristine in the initial test? And does the condition effect the durability? A link to the other test would be good for the sake of comparison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And does the condition effect the durability? A link to the other test would be good for the sake of comparison. I didn't post it in its own thread, unfortunately, but it was a thread pertaining to the issue in question. Someone was questioning the validity of the Ballistic Helmet, so my kid and I decided to test it. Using a pristine Ballistic Helmet, he survived the shot to the head and the helmet was ruined. I believe he suffered some sort of shock damage as his screen went grey but he didn't actually lose any blood and began recovering his health immediately.

korpisoturi (DayZ) 127 Posted March 11, 2014 Test pilot helmet with shooting it not straight, but so that it scraches the helmet and see it that yields differend results Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
