Infantry Troop Takes Shot To Head During Gunfight

GoPro footage dating back as far as 2015 in Rio De Janeiro Brazil, shows the moments a Brazilian troop had the luckiest day of his life after his helmet functioned as intended and deflected an incoming round.


Just through quick analysis, it's unclear to me whether these are Brazilian Marines, Soldiers, or BOPE officers, however what I can tell you, is this dude is one lucky man. As it appears in the footage, the squad of troops seems to be pulling security for extraction, presumably during a pacification mission in surrounding Favelas just months before the 2016 World Cup and Olympics.


Watching the right side of the screen, the troop observed in the kneeling position is suddenly knocked backward, as an incoming rounds strikes the frontal left lobe area of his helmet. With the limited sources we have on this incident and by analyzing a slightly longer cut of this footage, it appears the troop was uninjured... Aside from presumably a massive concussion/bruising.


One note I will add, had he been wearing an HHV helmet, I don't think he would have even noticed the impact. Head over to the link provided and check 'em out.
