Yes, it would dent and likely knock you over though. See Mythbusters recent episode on this.
No, Civil Defense helmets were made for falling debris, not for ballistics.
Effective body armour did not exist at that time, any armour strong enough stop bullets would have been to heavy for a man to move in.
World War 2 could have been completely preventable if Hitler was not given so much free power to do what he felt was necessary for Germany.
the soldiers started fighting in the trenches in ww1 becausse they have more protection.if the trenches were zig zaggy, that has more protection because if the germans threw a shell it will only affect a couple of people
When a tribune objected to a law, he would shout out Veto!! that means forbid in Latin. If they get enough Tribunes to object, they could stop the law from passing....
A kevlar helmet will stop pistol rounds or deflect a rifle round, a steel one will stop .22lr but nothing bigger or higher velocity

Yes. The helmet HELPS to protect you; it doesn't 100% protect you.
He had shoes that could make him fly, he had a shield to stop Medusa turning him to stone, he had armour that was strong but also a bit heavy and a helmet that could never break.
Sure. What it can stop will depend on the thickness of the iron, and the capabilities of the projectile being fired at it.
The backstop. Usually a sheet of metal, set at an angle, bullets striking it are deflected down. Some strike a bed of sand, some water, some are deflected into a large round metal pipe, where the bullets spin until they stop.
No, Civil Defense helmets were made for falling debris, not for ballistics.
At the end of the first movie matrix
Depends on caliber & velocity of the bullet.
Nothing could stop. Example:Cars wouldn't stop.
That depends on the level that the vest is rated for. For example, a NIJ levvel IIa vest will stop some types of bullets. A NIJ level II will stop even more types of bullets. A NIJ level IIIa will stop still more types of bullets. NIJ levels are I, IIa, II, IIIa, III, IV, and Special.
A cowboy gun is normally a revolver, which has six holes for the bullets to go in. But the cowboy would only put five bullets in for safety reasons. It was to stop the gun firing whilst it is in his pocket.
