ballistic gel

Ballistic gel is a specialized substance used by forensic experts and firearm enthusiasts to imitate human tissue. It is composed of transparent gelatin that mimics the density and consistency of muscle and soft tissue, allowing for realistic testing of bullets and projectiles. When a bullet passes through ballistic gel, it helps researchers observe how it behaves upon impact, including penetration depth, expansion, and wound channels. This makes ballistic gel valuable for testing firearm performance, ballistics research, and training, providing insights into how a projectile might interact with the human body in real-world scenarios.
