Step by step guide to make your own ballistics gel at home! I used this chunk of ballistics gel as my target while shooting my 3D printed bullets out of my MAS air gun( • 3D Printed Airgun Bullets ). You can also see me turn a 3D printed bullet into metal here( • From 3D print to Metal! )! And lastly, you can see my old ballistics gel video here( • How to Make Ballistics Gel ) Thanks for watching, and subscribe for a new video every week!
NOTE: 10% ballistic gel is the most commonly used formula for ballistic gel and has a bloom strength( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_(...) ) of around 250 bloom( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballist... ). While I did not test the bloom strength of Knox gelatin myself, after a quick google I am now an expert and it sounds like Knox is about 225 bloom ( https://www.chefsteps.com/ingredients... ). This puts it at 90% the bloom strength of the common 10% gel mixture. So yeah, the FBI probably wouldn't use it, but for a amateur like me an A- gel is indistinguishable from an A+ gel.
