Comment on There is a scene in Saving Private Ryan where a soldier gets shot in the helmet and it bounces off. Now a days soldiers seem to get shot in the helmet and it goes right thru. How come and why?

No idea but I’d guess armour piercing rounds being commonplace these days?
Standard rifle rounds during WWI would go right through a WWII helmet.
Generally it’s very difficult to stop a rifle round.
Perhaps a WWII helmet could stop a contemporary .32 or .38 cal pistol, but I don’t know.
