mr_augAustrian company Ulbrichts has developed the first combat helmet in the world which is able to stop and reduce the enormous energy of a Kalashnikov iron core projectile to survivable levels below 25 joules. ULBRICHTS Protection’s VPAM-6 end shield combined with ULBRICHTS Protection titanium helmets provide the world’s first effective protection against Kalashnikov gunfire. Due to the enormous firepower of a Kalashnikov, police forces have lacked effective head protection. Effective means that the projectile not only has to be reliably stopped. It is equally important for the helmet to prevent fatal trauma to the helmet wearer.
