As the name suggests, helmets are tested by firing
bullets on them for their bullet resistance strength.
The commonly followed standard for Bullet testing
on helmets was constituted by National Institute of
Justice, USA. In recent times the NIJ Specification
0106.01 has gained lot of importance due to its
higher bullet speeds & their more damaging lethality.
MKU helmets have always shown positive results
when subjected to various levels testing as per NIJ
0106.01 specifications.
The NIJ 0106.01 testing procedure specifies that the
helmets be tested by firing 4 bullets from a distance
of 5 meters as per chart below. The helmet is
considered compliant to the respective levels only
when it is able to resist all 4 shots. |
