there’s a very graphic picture of a dead German soldier with a single bullet hole in the back of his helmet.
I watched a guy get shot in the head with a 7.62x39 and it fully penetrated his modern combat helmet.
I highly doubt dudes were running around stopping rounds with their skulls.
IMO this thread reaks of "TTK is too fast for my nooby skills. "
I just said that class IIIA only stops pistol rounds…
And Class III stops 7.62 NATO FMJ…
Class IV stops AP rifle rounds
please think bevor talking with what you are saying an K98K has a higher penetration power than a PTRD anti tank rifel right ? but i dont think so
And full caliber rifle rounds (.30-06, 7.62x54 Russian, 8mm Mauser, so the WWII standard) will still get through class IV
“These rifle plates are tested to defeat 7.62MM armor piercing (AP) bullets (also known was .30-06 or 30 ot 6) traveling at a velocity of 2880 ft/s”
They’re literally tested against those exact rounds. So no, they wont go through Class 4
tf is even your point dude jesus christ.
My point? Every post I’ve put in here has been correcting people stating false information. My point is what they stated is false and I’m giving them the correct information. Am I not allowed to correct someone when they say something that is false in response to me?
And at those rangeswith pistols you aren’t getitng OHK’s even with headshots anyway!
Why were you shooting with a field cap??!! 
i never said they stopped all rifle rounds… 
its like people just walk in here and shout like wackjobs without reading like 10-15 comments up or the title of the post that clearly disqualifies any pointed type (Spitzer style) ammo from this discussion… whats being discussed is the wadcutter’s velocity falling off over ranges like 50-100 yards reducing its penetrating power… if a bullet slows down enough after exiting the barrel yes a helmet will deflect it as shown with the 45. ACP… a slower travelling heavier round…
the difference between pointed ammo (Spitzer Ammo) and rounded ammo (Wadcutter Ammo) is the range, speed, stability and penetrating power
and then you go onto talking about snipers like you haven’t even read the title of the thread… so here’s what im gonna do il end this conversation because you clearly didn’t read before posting
you do realize the PTRD rifle uses Spitzer Type Ammo…
SMFH… 
well of course 7.62 is gonna punch a hole through a helmet… are you daft that’s the bullets they put in AK-47’s… Also Spitzer Style Ammo… … i felt like iv said this for 20+ people already bringing up guns with pointed ammo…
I’ve shot at troops helmets in the past and it did no damage, unless that was just the lag. Though a headshot should knock down troops, maybe only for a few seconds though without medpack usage and the removal of the helmet
the M1 Carbine did not penetrate the helmet, but rather broke the helmet and both the projectile and the shrapnel of the helmet entered the soldier’s head. .45ACP and 9mm ammunition would soften the helmet and on impact would stun or faint the soldier, but direct rifle firing would pass through, so the game is even coherent in that part.
What layers? It was 2 to 3 mm of steal and a headrest inside made of cloth.
Dude go read some books. Leave the internet
yes and the k98k to but what do i know having original standart ammo for the k98k from wwII and an k98k
Well… It is for sure more than just a couple of grams that bullet weight… For example one really common bullet type that finnish forces used in WW2 era is a FMJBT type D166 bullet that is 13grams = 200 grains. Caliber 7,62mm which makes bullet diameter 7,87mm = .310 in, same caliber than Mosin Nagants.
PPDs fire 7.62mm short too. There’s all kind of 7.62mm ammo.
No kevlar in WWII
