Can bulletproof helmets really resist bullets?
In fact, the early bulletproof helmets were designed to protect the soldiers' heads, but this does not mean that bullets cannot pass through. If the bullets cannot pass through bulletproof helmets, the human neck should be overwhelmed. The role of bulletproof helmets is actually to defend against shrapnel or splashes. As for bullets, if the bullet is not hit directly, because the bullet-proof helmet is a curved surface, most of it will slip and fly.

With the change of manufacturing materials, bulletproof helmets are no longer steel products. At present, the main materials for making bulletproof helmets are ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber and aramid fiber. Bulletproof helmets made of composite materials are not limited to the steel bulletproof helmets of the year. The helmet made of UHMWPE fiber is lighter, and its protection ability is greatly improved, which can effectively prevent pistol bullets from hurting the human head.
