Title: Science project requests?
Post by: Higher Caliber on December 31, 2017, 04:32:03 PM: For this years science fair we are testing bullet penetration and cavitation. As you can see I have already made a significant investment in to this.

If any of you gents would like to mail me a couple rounds you would like tested, send me a PM. Gelatin will be melted down and reformed between each round. Only doing 9mm. I will need the specs on whatever rounds you send obviously.

As if you don't have an assortment of 9mm on hand, I shall declare shenangians upon such a decree from thee.

Brings perspective to when the mythbusters mold human analogs out of that stuff. They use multiple 5 gallon buckets...

There are also recipes on the internet for making it with Knox gelatin
