I saw a demonstration involving a US Army helmet and a lookalike civilian police helmet (it may have been RPB). From a distance of 7 yards, no handgun bullet (9mm, 40 S&W, .357 mag, 45 ACP) penetrated either helmet. The civilian police brain bucket proved itself superior in that the inside was not buckled from the impact of the bullet. On the Army helmet, that would have been a substantially ouchie if not a major concussion. I'll take the civie bucket.
