New video showcases the remarkable durability and resilience of the Adept Armor NovaSteel ACH-style helmet when subjected to rigorous testing against a .357 Magnum revolver.
Tulsa, Okla. (April 2024) – Adept Armor, the most innovative company in leading performance body armor, announces the release of its latest video demonstration: “NovaSteel Helmet Endurance Test vs. 357 Magnum.” This video showcases the remarkable durability and resilience of the Adept Armor NovaSteel ACH-style helmet when subjected to rigorous testing against a .357 Magnum revolver firing FPJ ammo from PPU.
In this groundbreaking demonstration, viewers will witness the comparative performance of three helmets:
- Czech M53: The video reveals the rapid penetration of the Czech M53 helmet, exposing the vulnerabilities inherent in 20th-century steel helmets.
- Police Surplus Helmets (rated IIIA): Despite its purported rating, the police surplus helmet exhibited severe degradation and extreme localized deformation under the impact of the .357 Magnum rounds.
- NovaSteel ACH-style Helmet (rated VPAM-3 + special threats): The NovaSteel helmet emerged as the undisputed champion, enduring more than two dozen shots with remarkable fortitude. Despite relentless assault, the NovaSteel helmet resisted penetration, exhibited minimal shell deformation, and maintained its padding integrity. The test was only halted when the retention system reached its limit, a testament to the helmet’s exceptional durability.
“We couldn’t be prouder of the performance demonstrated by the NovaSteel ACH-style helmet in this rigorous test,” commented Jake Ganor, founder of Adept Armor. “The video underscores our commitment to providing high-quality protective gear that exceeds industry standards and offers unparalleled protection to our customers.”
