Ballistic gelatin

Ballistic gelatin is a synthetic gelatinous material used primarily in the testing and evaluation of bullets and projectiles. It mimics the density and consistency of human tissue, allowing researchers, forensic scientists, and ammunition manufacturers to study how different projectiles behave upon impact with soft tissues. This is crucial for understanding penetration, expansion, and wound channel creation in ballistic impact scenarios. Ballistic gelatin is typically made from a mixture of gelatin powder and water, set into molds to create blocks or other shapes.
