People mocking Chinese qualities needs to realize this: your average Walmart stuffs are manufactured by Chinese country-side factories usually run by local farmers. More premium products such as Lenovo or other non-apple electronics are manufactured by better factories in smaller cities. Apple/Tesla/Huawei products are manufactures in larger cities with better facilities. And then there is military gears and equipments that got the best of the best manufacturing assets and talents. It's a tiered system with a vast talent pool, and Chinese military complex can pick the best talents and the process to serve its mission.
As a Chinese, I don't know how to buy real Chinese military equipment. Don't tell me to buy online, it's impossible! Real Chinese military equipment is prohibited from sale!
Yes, our stuff in America are made in china, but it still explains why these products don’t last long. Like I said, even if most US products are made in China, their quality is still mediocre.
There was a big scandal in Taiwan in early this year where a Taiwanese congress legislator sent their helmet and plates to the US and compared them with Chinese (Official/AliExpress) and American kits. They found out American kits are the best in overall protection and deformation, while Chinese kits offered similar protection but with much cheaper price. Taiwanese kits came in last with the worst protection and very expensive price. The whole fiasco forced Taiwanese MoD to announce development of level IV plates (whereas they only had level III for their infantry in the past).
There are many more scandals for them coming, I think. There is a certain partisan group in Taiwan, that wishes to hand over the island to China, if possible, and looks down-upon its former allies. Really sad development. And also not supported, even by a part of their voters...

Hahahahahs so you believe the propaganda to project power to hide their weakness?! Three 10 feet boats hardly fits the description of a “warship”. China is weak, their country is collapsing, that’s why so much effort is made to try and look impressive. Truly strong and impressive nations don’t try to show their true power, only the ones pretending to be something they are not. Feed your people, and behold them homes that don’t collapse if you are so impressive
But the helmet is the perfect representation of Chinese military might. In that is is substandard, inadequate and not at the same level of the western superpowers.
@@t-rex7796Id say Chinas gear is okay. But what is really gonna tear them down are their own Generals. They've never had to fight a modern full scale ground or naval battle. They will definitely crumble under pressure without knowing what tactics to use and what training to use from.
9mm and .44 magnum pretty much did that. It's as good as a PASGT helmet, which is unsurprising, since I suspect that China's military is about on par equipment wise as whatever the US had in the 90's.
@@EmmettMontanaroI mean, you can see what an M30A1 munition does to Russian ballistic helmets with a quick google search, it's just a bunch of little clean holes. That shrapnel is way too dense and is going way too fast to care about any ballistic protection. It makes holes going to the basement of five-story concrete buildings, and it keeps going for another five to ten feet through the soil lol. They're about as nasty as it comes.
Bro that helmet well exceeded expectation. You guys literally shot 6 or 7 bullets on the same helmet and its still retained its shape and form. It all protected the first 4 shots with ease.
Anyone thats ever been to Shenzhen and has in anyway been involved in manufacturing would know how fast prototyping and R&D can go in China. I have to admit that this helmet performed better than I initially expected. But now I’m wondering whether this video will be closely examined and use to improve the helmet further based on the use cases displayed.
why would it be used ? Chinese engineers are by far the smartest engineers in the world, and don't need high school drop outs in this video for their research.
Doubt videos of ballistic tests against bullets would be taken seriously now after Ukraine war. China has been watching the Ukraine war very closely and monitored the effectiveness of equipments. Chances of you surviving a hit in the head from a gunshot is slim because if they can shoot your head, expect 5-6 more shots aimed at your chest before you can even react. The chances of you just getting shot once in the helmet is too low for them to consider making more advanced helmets, they just need the helmet to protect against shrapnels and that's like 90% of the damage soldiers will take. There are footages of trench combat where soldiers get whole magazines unloaded into their head and body before they can even react. No amount of helmet engineering would protect a soldier from that. Building helmet around being able to protect against a single higher caliber bullet is pretty much a waste of time.

It depends, countries that could afford to, would just use blue painted versions of their helmets. In Canada, when we used the M1, the steel and liner parts of the helmet were painted blue (so they would switch depending on the situation). After that, peacekeepers were first issued painted, then fabric covered PASGT helmets, and now it's the CG634 with a fabric cover.
I produce bulletproof vests and helmets for the Chinese police and army. Most of the bulletproof vests I export have been tested in actual combat in Russia. Only armor-piercing bullets can penetrate them. The quality of China is not as bad as you say on the Internet. If you need it, please contact me.
I feel like I once recall seeing in a video on here, it might have been that guy serpentza, that the social credit rating is a made up american idea that doesnt exist, and if you were to ask local mainland Chinese about it, they respond with, wth are you talking about, but idk I'm canadian
I'm Chinese, In fact, I have worked for more than five years, but I really haven't heard of the social credits (only heard about it on TH-cam). I mean I've heard of something similar. For example, if someone has a huge amount of debt and is unwilling to repay it, he will be restricted from spending, such as not allowing long-distance travel. In addition, if your credit card can't be repaid on time, your credit rating in the bank will be lowered, which will affect your next borrowing limit. But neither I nor my colleagues have heard of the social credits. I'm curious why this thing that all Chinese people have never heard of will become a hindrance on TH-cam
As much as we mock the Chinese don't disrespect them or what they are actually able to do. Disrespecting the enemy earns you the bad outcome you deserve and nobody should feel pity for you nor you deserve help. That said I hope to see him test out Chinese modern small arms and get a feel for them I think GT is going to have a thing for them.
Yeah the west has underestimated Russia and Ukraine is fatally paying for it. We have let China make everything for us for decades and created a very formidable nation that the Us administration hopefully doesn't provoke a war with.
Chinese military helmets are produced by the highest priced manufacturer. Use the highest standards for inspection. The military helmets in the United States are produced by the lowest priced manufacturers and use basic standard inspections. By the way, American military helmets are actually produced by the same Chinese manufacturer as Chinese military helmets. Except for the Made in USA label. So do you think American helmets would be safer??
14:22 he says that the Chinese helmet is on par with the American helmet and a good piece of equipment - there's no need to be up in arms. Both countries are at the forefront of military technology.
My second wife was Chinese and she told me that in China, things made in china were actually more expensive and higher quality than stuff made in the US or elsewhere
@@zhongxingjin846 should’ve said “more expensive and perceived* as higher quality.,.” I just recall thinking how American sentiments towards Chinese goods were so oppposite. Every nation’s citizens probably see their own shit as superior to the competitions. In reality I think the economics and politics play a big role much like with prescription drugs. Brand name drugs in the US cost way more in the US than those same brand name drugs sell for in Europe. The quality is the same but behind the scenes is where the difference occurs

Remember players: the focus is to be the most accurately describe the subject matter in the most concise way possible! Not only can expert knowledge gets you points with judges.

So rare is this title that few have heard such a combination of words murmured. You’re free to try conquering another comment now or you may stay and defend your title.
The floor is yours, Mr. Overconfident Double-Downer9945! I do wonder WHERE such an asset to TH-cam comments in English speaking countries first learned about the art of commenting and where could a young commenter, who upon first seeing your masterpieces, attempts to lessen to expand one’s comment arsenal beyond classics such as: “Gay” or “Lame” and into refined art like your own?
Exactly, in fact, their tests are carried out for NIJ 3A short gun ammunition and the tests are carried out at distances a few points from the helmet, not as they are done in TH-cam videos, in a war they are not going to shoot you with a 9mm at 10 meters but the 38, 357 and 9mm tests make parallels to simulate artillery or mortar fragments, skidding or ricocheting bullets, not to receive them directly, this is not serious. In combat there is a greater chance of receiving fragments that cause serious head injuries than receiving a shot in the head. If a bullet hits your head it could be a bullet loss at long range, nor do snipers take headshots due to the difficulty of hitting a moving target. Therefore, the greatest risk on the battlefield is fragments to the head due to mortar or artillery fire, the number of fragments that fly around the zone impact .

the Chinese launch 3 warships a week including aircraft carriers I would say that the helmet is the least of the problems.
Hahahahahs so you believe the propaganda to project power to hide their weakness?!
Three 10 feet boats hardly fits the description of a “warship”.
China is weak, their country is collapsing, that’s why so much effort is made to try and look impressive.
Truly strong and impressive nations don’t try to show their true power, only the ones pretending to be something they are not.
Feed your people, and behold them homes that don’t collapse if you are so impressive
But the helmet is the perfect representation of Chinese military might. In that is is substandard, inadequate and not at the same level of the western superpowers.
@@t-rex7796did you actually watch the video? it stops the same rounds as the US helmet and is 1/10 the cost per unit
@@t-rex7796bro did not watch the video 😭😭😭
@@t-rex7796Id say Chinas gear is okay. But what is really gonna tear them down are their own Generals. They've never had to fight a modern full scale ground or naval battle. They will definitely crumble under pressure without knowing what tactics to use and what training to use from.
Need shrapnel tests since that's one of the main functions of a helmet. Not necessarily close range rifle shots...
It would be really cool if they could simulate a tungsten projectile from a himars rocket and test that against the helmet.
9mm and .44 magnum pretty much did that. It's as good as a PASGT helmet, which is unsurprising, since I suspect that China's military is about on par equipment wise as whatever the US had in the 90's.
@@EmmettMontanaro isn't the HIMARS rocket a fairly big one?
If it’ll stop a bullet it’ll stop shrapnel. There’s literally no reason to do a shrapnel test if it stops 9mm
@@EmmettMontanaroI mean, you can see what an M30A1 munition does to Russian ballistic helmets with a quick google search, it's just a bunch of little clean holes. That shrapnel is way too dense and is going way too fast to care about any ballistic protection. It makes holes going to the basement of five-story concrete buildings, and it keeps going for another five to ten feet through the soil lol. They're about as nasty as it comes.
Bro that helmet well exceeded expectation. You guys literally shot 6 or 7 bullets on the same helmet and its still retained its shape and form. It all protected the first 4 shots with ease.
Hi Kenny, the diverse hire at Ownard research.
The price performance is pretty amazing.
Anyone thats ever been to Shenzhen and has in anyway been involved in manufacturing would know how fast prototyping and R&D can go in China. I have to admit that this helmet performed better than I initially expected. But now I’m wondering whether this video will be closely examined and use to improve the helmet further based on the use cases displayed.
why would it be used ? Chinese engineers are by far the smartest engineers in the world, and don't need high school drop outs in this video for their research.
I'm pretty sure they have many turncoats from neighboring and western rival nations to help them in that.
Doubt videos of ballistic tests against bullets would be taken seriously now after Ukraine war. China has been watching the Ukraine war very closely and monitored the effectiveness of equipments. Chances of you surviving a hit in the head from a gunshot is slim because if they can shoot your head, expect 5-6 more shots aimed at your chest before you can even react. The chances of you just getting shot once in the helmet is too low for them to consider making more advanced helmets, they just need the helmet to protect against shrapnels and that's like 90% of the damage soldiers will take.
There are footages of trench combat where soldiers get whole magazines unloaded into their head and body before they can even react. No amount of helmet engineering would protect a soldier from that. Building helmet around being able to protect against a single higher caliber bullet is pretty much a waste of time.
In fact, this helmet is already being gradually phased out.

fun fact: UN blue helmets are just plastic helmet liners.
In a RGB color space, hex #5b92e5 (also known as United Nations blue) is composed of 35.7% red, 57.3% green and 89.8% blue.
It depends, countries that could afford to, would just use blue painted versions of their helmets. In Canada, when we used the M1, the steel and liner parts of the helmet were painted blue (so they would switch depending on the situation). After that, peacekeepers were first issued painted, then fabric covered PASGT helmets, and now it's the CG634 with a fabric cover.
I produce bulletproof vests and helmets for the Chinese police and army. Most of the bulletproof vests I export have been tested in actual combat in Russia. Only armor-piercing bullets can penetrate them. The quality of China is not as bad as you say on the Internet. If you need it, please contact me.
The Music was beautiful. Amazing job on the sound production.

@pro_154 Pretty sure they were the ones who found out the Chinese military put water in the missiles.
you guys really do eat crayons huh
This video will get you at least -1000000 social credits, thats pretty good performance for one video tbh
I feel like I once recall seeing in a video on here, it might have been that guy serpentza, that the social credit rating is a made up american idea that doesnt exist, and if you were to ask local mainland Chinese about it, they respond with, wth are you talking about, but idk I'm canadian
No, we Chinese people are actually very proud of this video and enjoy the expressions of the people in it.
I'm Chinese, In fact, I have worked for more than five years, but I really haven't heard of the social credits (only heard about it on TH-cam). I mean I've heard of something similar. For example, if someone has a huge amount of debt and is unwilling to repay it, he will be restricted from spending, such as not allowing long-distance travel. In addition, if your credit card can't be repaid on time, your credit rating in the bank will be lowered, which will affect your next borrowing limit. But neither I nor my colleagues have heard of the social credits. I'm curious why this thing that all Chinese people have never heard of will become a hindrance on TH-cam
As much as we mock the Chinese don't disrespect them or what they are actually able to do. Disrespecting the enemy earns you the bad outcome you deserve and nobody should feel pity for you nor you deserve help.
That said I hope to see him test out Chinese modern small arms and get a feel for them I think GT is going to have a thing for them.
Yeah the west has underestimated Russia and Ukraine is fatally paying for it. We have let China make everything for us for decades and created a very formidable nation that the Us administration hopefully doesn't provoke a war with.
No, many Chinese people also enjoy this channel. I don't think we are "enemies". You should have more self-respect.

Chinese military helmets are produced by the highest priced manufacturer. Use the highest standards for inspection. The military helmets in the United States are produced by the lowest priced manufacturers and use basic standard inspections.
By the way, American military helmets are actually produced by the same Chinese manufacturer as Chinese military helmets. Except for the Made in USA label. So do you think American helmets would be safer??

@@zhongxingjin846 should’ve said “more expensive and perceived* as higher quality.,.” I just recall thinking how American sentiments towards Chinese goods were so oppposite.

Welcome to the stage! Your answer is… absolutely fucking correct and takes a slight lead over the competition. Remember players: the focus is to be the most accurately describe the subject matter in the most concise way possible! Not only can expert knowledge gets you points with judges.

So rare is this title that few have heard such a combination of words murmured. You’re free to try conquering another comment now or you may stay and defend your title.
The floor is yours, Mr. Overconfident Double-Downer9945!

Actually, no helmet can withstand a round fired directly at a helmet in close range. It's for ricochet and shrapnel.
Don't delude yourselves.
If you actually watched the video and stopped yappin, he stated this
Exactly, in fact, their tests are carried out for NIJ 3A short gun ammunition and the tests are carried out at distances a few points from the helmet, not as they are done in TH-cam videos, in a war they are not going to shoot you with a 9mm at 10 meters but the 38, 357 and 9mm tests make parallels to simulate artillery or mortar fragments, skidding or ricocheting bullets, not to receive them directly, this is not serious. In combat there is a greater chance of receiving fragments that cause serious head injuries than receiving a shot in the head. If a bullet hits your head it could be a bullet loss at long range, nor do snipers take headshots due to the difficulty of hitting a moving target. Therefore, the greatest risk on the battlefield is fragments to the head due to mortar or artillery fire, the number of fragments that fly around the zone impact .
Where do you get the helmets from China? Black market?
Interesting tests. Thanks guys!
