I know it's been mentioned, but these helmets are meant to stop small things going very fast, not heavy things going slowly. Kevlar has AMAZING tensile strength, but it literally has the compressive strength of cotton, because like cotton it's a fabric. You don't need to stop a bullet from pushing in the helmet, you need to stop the bullet from getting through the helmet. That's where kevlar obliterates steel, particularly for its weight.

[@deafinki]

If that's true, why did the pointy side of the hammer break the kevlar helmet surface so easily when hit, but practically made no dent on the old steel helmet? I don't know, man...

[@Somerandom1922]

@@deafinki Because that's literally what I said, it has poor compressive strength. A hammer isn't a bullet or a piece of shrapnel. The hammer is slow and heavy (comparatively speaking), it breaks the polymer holding the helmet together because it has more momentum than a piece of shrapnel. However, it didn't go through the kevlar, nor would piece of shrapnel.

[@spl420]

​@@deafinkibecause when you hit with hammer it continues applying force way slower because of your hand fixing it on one place. If you stop applying force as fast as bullet will, it won't break as much. Also, there's a difference between durability of helmet and how much it protects. Because Kevlar is fabric, it's way better at absorbing force compared to steel which is more likely to move because of serious impact, and that's at least distraction, maybe even head damage if it straps won't distribute force enough.

I can explain why the old helmet did 5x better than the new one. Steel helmets, like the old one, are obviously made of steel, and steel is extremely rigid and it's point of bending is quite high compared to other things. However, the new one was most likely plastic and Kevlar. Plastic, is self-explanatory while Kevlar, is more complex. Kevlar is extremely strong in stopping fast impact things, like bullets. But once you get slow in it, like with a knife, the fibers of the Kevlar slowly wear apart and break, like what was seen in the video. Be on watch for enemies with hydraulic presses though.

Having witnessed several high velocity round impacts on aramid and Kevlar helmets; the kit does its job beautifully. The round enters and cuts through several layers before being caught between two layers on the helmet. The round then follows the layer and tracks around the helmet before either flying out around the back or, running out of steam and sticking in the helmet. Amazing bits of kit. Lightweight, phenomenal protection and gives confidence to those wearing it.

The kelvar is the more suitable choice. The reason is that it is supposed to deflect objects, bullets, and protect your head. Take, for example, a bicycle helmet. It is not supposed to stay together but absorb some of the pressure. When you use just steal, it won't break, but it won't absorb any of the pressure/energy. Though the kelvar isn't meant for slow pressure, it is meant for fast, small objects, which is shown in the beginning. Also, the kelvar has cushions that protect the skull and prevent sharp objects to poke through. (Feel free to do your own research. Have a wonderful day or night :D)

I remember when the Kevlar first came out. We were shown one of each shot. The steel pot only had a dimple in it. The Kevlar had a splintered hole through it. I thought to myself, "why ?"

[@alexkibis4338]

Helmets are meant to protect against 2 main things: punctures and blunt impacts. The shell strength will help with the punctures, whereas blunt impact protection is all about prolonging the deceleration time of the foreign object in order to reduce the concussive forces (ex. 1000kg force over 1 second, vs 1000kg over 10 seconds). Multilayer kevlar outshines high-carbon steel in both of these areas, although it has lower overall strength against crushing forces.

Kevlar is meant to be lightweight and protect you from bullets and small projectiles. It makes sense it ressists much less pressure. The old helmet might be better at protecting against stunning objects since it's made of metal, but maybe not so much against bullets. Depends on the caliber and the distance. Plus, I'm sure it weights way more than the kevlar one. The police one is only to denfend against stunning objects like sticks and stuff rioters might throw at them. Therefore is made with lighter materials and it takes less pressure to crush it. All in all, more ressistant to pressure doesn't necessarily mean better.

The aerodynamics of bullets and the rest was extremely well known, especially when tanks were improved in the 30s.

The "worker helmet" is funny, because hard hats are meant to redirect damage. That's why they fall off your head so easily. If they just stopped falling objects dead, the force would go to the wearer's necks.

[@mrsfahrenheit]

that is actually something I didn’t know and some interesting thing I got to learn today ! Well thanks!!

[@snakevenom4954]

Not true. If something heavy were to hit your head and your hard hat was on tight, your head would be pushed and the object would land on your shoulders or barely miss you. While yes they redirect damage, they aren’t made to fall off. That’s why good quality hard hats are adjustable to fit tightly on your head. They also protect your head from hitting things yourself, like a low beam or ceiling and stop projectiles like blades or fragments. For example, lay a hard hat down and try to hit it with a hammer. The hat will just keep moving, like your head would if you had the hard had on tight, as you should

Though the Kevlar would appear to give you less protection, it's actually better protection as it will dampen the blow you received. While the steel one will be far better at transferring the energy to the wearer.

Also, I suspect the weight they hold is very different, making for a striking difference in comfort after prolonged wear.

Kevlar is meant to be more for shock absorption, like the vest it's meant to divert kinetic energy from a bullet to be at a non lethal speed. Meanwhile a steel helmet is not shock absorbing, but because it is solid steel it will deflect any kind of projectile, however the shock and the kinetic energy will remain, so you can possibly have a concussion but at least you won't have a hole in your head.

I thought I would cut it lengthwise into two parts. It cleared so that the whole construction site probably heard. But the helmet withstood the blow with honor. The old army, for its time and its war, was normal, A modern helmet designed for its tasks in modern wars. A police helmet is not built to resist bullets unless it is a sphere. This helmet absorbs shocks like a construction helmet, but with improved plastic, improved shock absorption belt liner and all-round head protection.

the enemy has a hydraulic press; break out the medieval armour

[@MarilynStangl]

Yes a steel helmut will dent but it can be hammered back into shape with little loss of strength! I think a helmut designed with both an outer layer of steel and an inner layer of kevlar with a one-inch gap between would be more effective at stopping bullets as the steel would help blunt and slow down the round, the gap would allow for sideway dispersion of energy and the kevlar would act as a shrapnel shield. Perhaps a similar honey-combed version with rubber balls evenly spaced in the gap would also cut down on the transferred energy to the head. I think that body armor with a locking ring for supporting the outer steel shell to place the weight on the shoulders instead of the neck and the kevlar shell would be directly attached to the head giving greater bullet resistance with less weight on the neck. I believe this would be superior protection especially for the neck. In low threat areas the outer shell could be left off for comfort! Other improvements are possible! Also, helmets are used for other things such as a (steel pot anyway) a vessel to heat water in, a improvised digging tool, a not-too-comfortable seat. etc.

Ww2 helemets were mostly against low impact fragments, low speed bullets, and basic "don't hit your head on stuff". They were cheap, easy and fast to produce in big quantities and we're more useful than not. They would deflect bullets and fragments but if pierced (if that surface was broken) you would be injured or dead. Modern ones can deflect but are able to absorb the impact, they would contain the bullet or fragments and some of the kinetic energy, although you would feel like getting hit in a head by Mike Tyson at least your would live. Biggest difference would be at around 90deges of impact(less likely to deflect)

If anyone wanted to know, the reason soldiers stopped using steel was because it was hard to obtain and it was heavy whilst Kevlar is cheap and decently strong. That steel helmet probably weighed a good 5-10 pounds and that’s sitting on your head while the Kevlar is probably like 2 or 3 pounds.

[@ryo-kai8587]

Exactly; mobility is a big factor. When you consider also that-from what I've heard-Kevlar is better against bullets anyway, there's not a great case for steel helmets today. As others have said, if the steel deforms too much under projectile impact, you'll die anyway even if it doesn't puncture. The compression strength is only useful in very specific situations where the force is 100% on the sides of the helmet, and not travelling through your body/neck. The wrong angle, and you'll die even if the helmet says intact.
