Nothing is ever bulletproof. Ask the manufacturers. They’ll say it is bullet resistent. Like others have said, you would need a seriously heavy material to stop a bullet.

To make them COMPLETELY bulletproof they would be too heavy to wear. Try strapping a cinderblock to your head,and running around,jumping,crawling,etc, while carrying other heavy objects. You’d have to see a spine doctor after a few hours of that,assuming you lasted that long.

probably cause theyd be even heavier than they already are… which is pretty heavy. …i dont want to walk around all day with a 25 pound helmet on my head. …besides, they helmets they got now are pretty bullet proof, as in they will deflect shots. …and if you think about it they really only cover like the top 4-5″ of your head anyway.

Bulletproof is relative…Why weren’t the Sherman Tanks in WWII bulletproof? They were, except for the heaviest and highest power bullets. Same for the helmet.
