Ballistic Gel Vs Clay at James Polk blog

Ballistic Gel Vs Clay. Just how much depends on the bullet. Clay blocks, including modeling clays (oil plus minerals) and pottery clays (water plus minerals) are the poor man's ballistic. Compared to actual calibrated gel blocks, the clear ballistics blocks seem to be less dense—bullets penetrate more deeply and expand less. We can see that two bullets penetrate about the same but if one expands more, it can obviously damage a bit more tissue. They are made of knox gelatin similar to what your mother fed you as a kid, but without flavoring and made to a denser consistency. Though it has become an industry standard for testing terminal performance of ammunition, ballistic gelatin doesn’t tell you all you need to know. The purpose of using ballistic gel is to compare one load to another in relative terms. An animal isn't a homogeneous mass with a consistent or calibrated density. 10% gel is just as arbitrary as wet newspapers or blocks of modeling clay. Here’s where it got its start, how it works, and why its use matters. Ballistic gelatin testing basically involves molding blocks of gelatin, shooting the blocks and measuring the damage you create.

Gelatin and pectin, what are they, how do they work and how are they
