I've always heard it as being the other way around: How much injury could one inflict while wearing a full steel helmet on those not wearing helmets?

There are no staffs in Belegarth. Because of how they are constructed, they are really Pugil Sticks.

Incidently, I was always told that full metal helms, elbows, and knees were disallowed because those are the areas that will do you in if a charging opponent trips and lands on you.

Online voting isn't perfect, but it's much faster and more efficient than the previous system.

If they are, bar grills should never count as armour and any projectile hit to a bar grill should count as a hit to the face.

I agree that bar grills should not count as armor against projectiles. They should be for personal protection.
The other comment is just silly. There are nice ones and crappy ones, just like the helms we see on our field.
