What Can a Bulletproof Helmet Stop?

The design of bulletproof helmets is mainly to protect the head from injury. They can absorb and dissipate the energy of the bullet, prevent penetration, reduce blunt trauma, and effectively protect the human head. This equipment is mainly suitable for troops and combat personnel, police, etc. Bulletproof helmets can defend against long-range pistol shooting, so that soldiers will not be killed in one shot. In addition, bulletproof helmets can also protect the head from shrapnel, fragments, explosives and enemy attacks.

In different environments, helmets will also have different designs. For example, in desert areas, they need to be able to resist sand and dust, and when working underwater, they need to prevent water from flooding into the helmet.

Although bulletproof helmets have certain protective capabilities, they cannot completely block all types of bullet attacks. For example, when facing close-range pistol attacks or rifle shooting within range, the protective effect of bulletproof helmets will be greatly reduced. In addition, although some advanced helmets can withstand direct rifle bullets, this is not a standard configuration for all bulletproof helmets. Therefore, the main function of bulletproof helmets is to provide a certain degree of protection and reduce the risk of injury, rather than completely blocking all types of bullet attacks.

In short, the design and manufacturing standards of bulletproof helmets are intended to provide head protection for soldiers and police officers, especially when facing handguns and close-range bullet attacks. Although it cannot completely block all types of bullet attacks, it still plays an important role in reducing injuries.‌
