Is altyn the only helmet that protects from pistol/shotgun up close?

[Ben1988]

I just got facehitboxed in 1 by an mpx using the fast mt visor thats one 9x19 caliber pistol round, i feel the visors need to be slighly more powerful, like i am fine dying to 5.45 or higher but anything below rifle tier shouldnt one tap someone using a visor, whats the point in the visor?

is the altyn the only helmet that actually stops bullets in general?

i mean considering the 5.45 5.56 7.62 m80 ...... the lzh zh1 and fast are just cosmetic outside the comtacs, i would like to see the visor upped to lvl 4 armor for life of quality

Before the altyn was in the game, a FastMT visor had a decent chance of bouncing or slightly absorbing damage if the round went though glass or another material.

Level 3 helmet seem to take 15-20 shots from a SKS (7.62mm).

Don't know about the visors.

so yeah: At the moment helmets seem to be f****d up...

I have been made aware the "visor is up" glitch is back and testing has shown me that if i dont hear the "mask breathing" the glitch happens up to 60% of the time, make sure that your guy talks and breathes like he has the mask on, if he talks normal its bugged and you must turn it off and on to activate it

 

i have noticed a lot of ppl using altyns/fastmt with their shields up recklessly as i one tap them, now i feel their pain and understand why

I mean, PST GZH still has a 3% chance to go through the lvl 3 visor on the first shot if the visor is 100% . You're not invincible, only more protected.
