The gel was shot with, a standard airsoft pistol, a BBMG with dentent, a 100psi coax cannon, and lastly with a HPA 1/2'' porting piston valve cannon.
Hope you enjoy the video.

Very.
Thanks.
In the photo below, you can see a few "welts" from rounds that bounced off.
Also, you can see a few shattered BB's.
I sure wont be using this BBMG in any airsoft wars....

HAHA!
Brilliant
It's quite scary to see how deep "harmless" airsoft BBs penetrate when thrown hard enough!
Shame you don't have a high speed camera.
Some Mythbuster style testing using bone cast into it would be great though also perhaps some "ballistic gel behind cover" testing for the more powerful launchers.
Last but not least, love the "ass" style slap you gave it in the beginning

Well... i needed to see how it felt compared to flesh.... :bootyshake:
(its pretty darn close if i do say so myself.)

I was very surprised...none of the BB's went all the way through (1.5'')
but there was one .2g bb that ALMOST made it.

I wish.... anyone care to loan me one?
If you pay attention.... during the coax shot, you can see the gel distort ALOT. just one frame or two.... but those 2 frames made me want a high speed camera SO badly.

The more frames per second, the worse the video quality and the more light you will need for a decent shot though.
I can't speak for the FS-10 but all of my high speed videos were made with this model.

Thanks for the info.
The beauty of this gel come from the fact you can melt it and re cast it until it molds. Im casting it in a deeper container for more HPA shots.
Neat photo of a round in the gel showing the entry path.

Maybe you should cast it in a PVC tube or similar? You could shoot it while it's still in the tube, it will stop projectiles deflecting too much.

that sounds like a good idea.
I just poured a new casting, into a pail.... perhaps that will work.... 8)

Thanks to the "random cannon" button i just discovered your tutorial last week. Its a good tutorial. thanks
As for the red food coloring... i thought the off yellow color looked kinda bland. haha.
I love how you can re melt this stuff with just a sink full of hot water. Its been quite usefull.
(New casting is done! time to go shoot it some more!)
