Do helmets ACTUALLY do anything?
Other than the bike helmet and punches, do they really work against anything else at all?

I found a new spawn. I said, hey dude put this helmet on. It was a ballistic helmet prestine. Handcuffed him and told him if he lived he could have my sporter and 30 clip (I had a mosin that I was actually usuing).

Go behind the guy and fire 1 .22 shot to the head. Killed him instantly.

What's the point?

I had firefighters helmet once, and it got ruined when I got shot with a shotgun... So i think it does work

A ballistic helmet is not designed to stop a bullet head-on. It protects from shrapnel.
That's a pretty small caliber, but regardless.

That could have been with one pellet though. Shotguns ruin everything.

Interesting. Do you know if a gorka works?

Assuming you didn't hit his neck by mistake, my question is this. Was he healthy? He may've taken some damage from a zombie before you found him.

The helmet will save a healthy person from a headshot from just about any weapon except maybe a Mosin at point blank range... It still does damage to the person, puts their shock above the threshold for fainting, and causes bleeding. So if his overall health and blood value were below the threshold for a .22 bullet yeah he's still gonna die.

Might be the distance as well .. ive survived firefights thanks to my helmet, but i think at such a close range even a helmet wont do much ..

No even a chance IRL.. A kevlar helmet can deflect bullets but not like that.

Like when a stairs breaks your leg due to desync, you shouldn't be able to walk again. Also when you die, you should have to buy DayZ again to play.
