Ballistics Gelatin

Ballistics gelatin is a specially formulated, transparent substance used by researchers and firearm experts to simulate human or animal tissue. When a bullet is fired into it, the gel mimics how the projectile would behave in soft tissue, allowing for analysis of factors like penetration, expansion, and wound channels. Its consistency closely resembles that of muscle tissue, making it a valuable tool for testing ammunition performance in a controlled environment, without ethical concerns associated with live testing. This helps improve understanding of how different firearms and bullets impact living targets.
