In most video games, movies, etc. helmets/body armor don’t appear to be very effective at all, especially helmets, with the protagonist blasting through them with ease. Is it that easy to puncture in real life? If so, why use such poor equipment?

Helmets strong enough to stop a bullet completely would weigh so much that your neck would snap as soon as you turned to look at the person next to you… Helmets protect you from shrapnel, the stuff that comes off of explosions nearby. nothing can effectively protect you from everything. “Bullet proof” vests and such can stop most common bullets, but your ‘soft tissue” in your torso still absorbs some of the impact so you are severely bruised under them from the force of it. A helmet like that might stop the bullet but would still allow the force to crack your skull.
