This video tutorial shows you how to make Ballistic Gel, the same stuff that the Mythbusters crew use to test out weapons! Ballistic Gel is about the same density as human flesh so it is used to simulate human flesh in weapons testing to see how potent a weapon is. You can use this to test out the power of all of your guns More»

  • Brand doesn't ...

    Brand doesn't matter, but don't get the flavored stuff. Just get plain gelatin, not jello. The most common brand is Knox.

  • It's basically ...

    It's basically tasteless jello before you re-melt it and cool it again. Bullets and projectiles will react almost the exact same in Ballistic gel as it does in human flesh, google that if you don't believe me. They use this exact same stuff on mythbusters all the time.

    isnt this just jello?
    I can stick my finger through jello, not through human flesh. Doesn't seem very realistic.

    I can't remember, I made this video a while ago. I know it is cheap though, maybe around $1.50 for 4 packets? I'm sure you can get it cheaper in bulk off the internet though.

    You have to re-heat the gel, I'm not exactly sure why, but I've tried it without the heating and it basically fell apart before I could even shoot it.

  • What exactly does ...

    What exactly does heating and re-pouring do for the gel? Couldn't you just spray the container to begin with, and skip the re-melt?

  • If you mean after ...

    If you mean after you have shot it, then yeah, you can pull out the bullets and remelt it, you might want to add a little water to it if you are going to remelt it because some of the water will escape from the gel if it has been left in the open for a while.
