@@Oxide_does_his_best I think it's just because of Russian export law (right?), in reality they probably made thousands upon thousands (much like with the mosin) so it's only unicorn dust outside of Russia, and even in Europe (idk about USA) they're not "rare" as in, you can find them for sale relatively regularly on places like Demych gear bakery, it's not like with finding .280/30 British cartridges or Green bakelite AK furniture etc where you have to look for years sometimes.

[@vlasbaranyuk5663]

I’d like to point out that the helmet was meant to protect you at distances more than 10-20 meters. Shooting 5.45 point blank will do nasty things to armor vests designed to protect against it. So that helmet can save your life (it did irl, they wouldn’t have used it for so long otherwise) when the shooter is 50-100 m away from you.

[@jamieee321]

I'd like to see more shots that aren't between the eyes. Give the impact some angles and i'm sure there'll be more ricochets too.

[@rexquite5547]

If you say so he was testing the game one tho and how they said it would protect you point blank

[@senyaborovikov1015]

I think one of the reasons that the MASKA deflects the 5.7 rather than just stopping it like the K6-3 is because of the difference between steel and titanium. Steel, when used in armor, generally is better at dispersing and deflecting force, but titanium is more durable and lighter.

Realistically, helmets are more to protect the wearer from fragmentation and falling/flying debris. This keeps them in the fight instead of knocked out with a concussion. The fact that some Kevlar helmets have stopped rifle rounds in the past is more due to numerous factors/luck. They are also a psychological effect for both the wearer and other people, whether the other people are civilians or opposing forces. It gives the wearer a sense of security and the opposing forces/Civilians can see that these are well equipped soldiers who are here for a reason....they mean business.

do i hear "haircuts for men" in the background at 3:43?

[@ClayThunder]

Probably, he uses stuff from Machine girl aswell

[@dj_vanx]

also that mechanicus ost in prev video

[@kuritho5903]

wow, there are dozens of us! i personally use the channel "Vapor Memory" for a lot of that music. i also love the mechanicus OST and machinegirl which im surprised i didnt catch on. i also listen to sewerslvt, igorrr, and astrophysics which are somewhat related to each other, so if you're looking for music suggestions, that's what i'd suggest.

How much of an angle does it need to reliably deflect rifle rounds?

[@Oxide_does_his_best]

Close up, it'll never reliably deflect rifle rounds

That ricochet is really a close call. It would be safer for you to wear ballistic vest when testing at such a close range.

[@viero13]

6:58 Is that rust being shaken off the helmet?

[@Oxide_does_his_best]

Yes!

[@elijahjackson7125]

Actually no, that’s small pieces of iron oxidizing in the air and turning into rust and heat (which a small bit comes of as light) if you ever use an angle grinder it’ll be the same thing you see

I noticed 'Just don't tell mom I'm in Afghan' in there at 1:39. One of my favourite Russian songs. Really captures the emotion and reality as well as the scale of war. I'd recommend giving it a listen, as well as ones like 'Three Helicopters Over Mozdok' - there are various playlists on KZbin. This genre just really vividly captures the lifestyle of a soldier and their feelings, as well as also having a really catchy rhythm and feel to them - even I can sing them, and I don't speak Russian at all.

[@gaborbencenagy2988]

Great video about this kind of helmet, i always wanted to know if this helmet can stop a normal rifle ammo (7.62,5.56 or lighter) under 100 meters, but still a great helmet, it is a beast against pistol ammo.

[@jakemorris1509]

Are you planning on testing a reinforced visor for the Maska as well or just the smooth version?

[@Oxide_does_his_best]

If I can get one I'll test it

[@kreslokkd]

So basically it does not only stops 9mm bullets, but also recochettes them so that it can potenitally kill the one who shot it. Double profit
