One of the best homemade ballistics gel making vids I've seen. Thank you

Finally i don't have to use my brother anymore to test my 1911

$15? Wow. Thank you. I expected at least triple that amount . This makes it a lot more plausible for a normal person to do. thank you for the clear presentation

To avoid hot mixing, and more even combination, you can bloom the gelatin in cold water for about 5 minutes. It will mix more readily in the hot water.

Linked this video in the description of a ballistics test I did. This was the best info out there; awesome job! While this is easy to make, it is very time consuming, lol.

Great info . I work at a range and have been wanting to do this for a very long time .....

For some weird reason, I want to drink some beef broth.

There is another channel that uses plastisol which is the rubber used for fishing lures. They say it is a little tougher but very similar and it doesn't mold. You can re-melt it also. I have found different densities online but haven't tried any yet.

I had NO idea it was this damn simple. Definitely making some. Always wanted to use this and thought you had to pay an arm and a leg.

Another good video man, thanks!

Probably better to start with less water before you start mixing in the gelatine, to reduce lumps

If you re-melt the clear ballistics brand blocks and get it too hot, it turns the same color. Lower temp may give you a block that's more clear.

Awesome thank you for this, I couldn't believe how expensive horse hoofs are can't wait to try

Fantastic, Thank you very much. Looking forward to you next video on this.

Awesome video thanks for the recipe, just a tip gelatin mixes easier in cold water than in hot water.🤜🤛👍

I work at Barnes in the lab. Everything looks good in how you did it besides the way you mixed it. What we do is pour the hot water into a 5 gallon bucket and mix the gel powder in slowly with an industrial looking plastic beater that chucks into a hand drill. Go slowly on the drill, or you'll get a lot of foam. When it's mixed, pour it into the mold.

You are a very Cool youtuber. Just subscribed. Havent made this yet but seems doable. Will try this coming week. Thank you kindly! Best wishes to all! o7

Wow, I see lots of videos in the future with people using this. Good job👍🏻

I can't wait to see what that 12 gauge slug does to it .

That's awesome. I'll be trying this for sure. Excited to see what additives you come up with.

God bless you! CHEERZ!

Pretty cool sounds like a fun lil experiment for this weekend, been wanting to shoot one for sometime now thank you

Thanks a lotnfornthis.Greetings from Hungary 🇭🇺

Finally a math easy recipe. 😁Been wanting to make this for awhile now. How big of a block did this make?

I got some life size skull and heart molds! I plan on putting paintballs in it to see if i can some how make my own bleeding target hopefully it works out

Pretty awesome, dude. I plan on doing this to make sure some Russian ammo is up to spec.

finally, I no longer need live subjects

Very thorough!

I didn't realize that the gelatin could be melted and reused. I always that they threw away the ballistics gel after ever test.

This is the only approved recipe for fbi standards testing that i know of. That clear gel stuff isn't fbi standard, that's the marketing department putting whatever they want on their boxes. I dont even watch videos if they aren't using this kind of protein based gelatin like the FBI.

Good stuff. Thanks!

great vid, going shooting this weekend so im gonna try make some gel. how mnay pounds or grams of gelatine make 1 litre? cheers

Excellent concise video! Well done!

Finally I can test out _the plan_

I’m going to try it, i’ve been wanting to try it on my 50-110WCF

Considering that it’s made from the connective tissue of several kinds of animals...I can understand why it probably isn’t a thrill to work with.

in ozs.

My question; is it able to be shipped and still hold it's density upon delivery?

Use a fine mesh sieve to reduce clumps.

i made one with 8 pouhes of gello (50 mg each if i recall right) for like 450 ml of water.

Just to clarify that's a two letter bottle filled with gel ...???

Would have been nice to see how you “melt it down” and what that process is. But this is awesome and will save me and many others some serious money. Thanks for posting! (Part 2 for melting process so they can be re-used)? 😬 Thanks!

"Gentleman, thaw your chickens."

Great video! how do you make it clear vs the yellow color?

Thank you for the knowledge 🙏

Thank You, I will be giving it a try..

Try peroxide as a preservative.

I know this is an old video, but if I want a shorter piece of handmade gel, do i reduce the amounts of water and gelatine?

I’m trying to find a video of someone EATING ballistic gel but I can’t find any videos on KZfaq:(

Drill with paint/mud mixer

Nice! This should be easy, just a 9:2 ratio and boiling.

Awesome thanks for the recipe 👍👍

Where did you buy the gelatin? Also awesome video very informative!!

Does this stuff rip easily? I work with silicone, and it gets really expensive to try new molds, so i thought i could cast some gelatine to see if the mold looks right. Problem is, the gelatine i made rips easily, so i cant get it out of the mold.

Does anyone know how to make ballistic gel that doesn't melt? Like some extra ingredient that can keep it from melting? I want to make some home made arch supports for my shoes, but I know good and well that it will melt if I slice some and put it into my shoes.

Well done. Thank you

Ya the air bubbles are from you mixing it way to fast. Mix it slowly to reduce air bubbles

Top stuff👍👍

Great idea.

cold water helps so you dont have to mix it so much

your calculation is wrong ! You must calculate the deceleration . The FBI balistic gel has an 190,600 m/s2 and your gel has 142,189 m/s2. You must increase the quantity of gelatine and don-t forget to add a preservative (sodium benzoate or sulph dioxide, propionic acid etc )

What ia the weight in kg of 2L of gelatin powder?

I assume to “reuse” you just cut up sections an heat in a deep pot?

Can you make the gelatin a lot softer to measure the propeller pitch in it if it would even work?

They charged me 80 bucks at the bulk barn for the gelatine powder here in Ontario. I have a giant bag of it now. Wondering if I measured it wrong… I’m waiting to find the right container before attempting to make this

How long would it last?

Your recipie produced .0060"/FPS for me. Just a bit more gel to water and your recipe would be perfect.

Water and gelatin.... thats it?

Is this vessel 16” long by 6.25” wide roughly ?

I was wonder how tf you calibrate a block of gel with zero electronics 🙃 but you had already thought of that.

Good vid. All the other vids say not to boil the water. They say 107°F is optimal.

how strong of a punch can it handle and will it break in half under pressure?

You went to what kind of store? The damn music

Where did you get your gelatin? Definitively going to make some and see what my bore drives do out of my MR-X with white Hots.

It's easy to make colloid silver water, I wonder if that would fight the bacteria? It's known to kill something like 675 different bacteria. Justa thought. That's pretty cheap gel!

Could you actually use this stuff called Thick it which makes water thick and anything else it's for people that can't drink normal water because of an issue with your throat from Nerf that would work good

How would it taste if you made it with flavored jello?

So what if you use flavored gelatin 🤔

Great video, Thank you. My question, will this melt on a hot summer day at the range?

You don’t need gelaton you can use soy to make your own vegan gelly

Does it get soft like Jell-O when it gets warm?

great video with the easiest instructions i found so far, and chapter 2 with acids as well.. just one question , you said that water should boil but everywhere it is said it should be at around 40°C when mixing.. since video is time wise nicely edited and cut to length we can see only that you poured only once so are all 9L boiling water or is it some ratio of boiling and tap water? people also do it two steps, room temperature mix, cooling and melting again before pouring into molds and final cooling.. you made it all in one step right?

Sorry pal you mean you fill up a measuring jug with gelatine powder to the 2 ltr mark trying to order some online but they only sell it in lbs and kgs

My vessel is 16x6x6 roughly and it only holds about 6.5 litres. What’s the measurements to make this consistency with 6.5 litres of water ?

You have an awesome channel! Why did you stop making videos?

Its edible?

Use cold water.. as cold as possible..

I just wanna know where to buy this 15 dollars a pound.... Can for food?

I was thinking they had to put in something special to make it differ from the ordinary jello you would see as a food item consumed.

2 litres gelatin & 9 litres water

is there any issue if i leave it in the fridge for like 20 hours?

Does the jello brand matter

how is your so hard and tough?

Would it melt in the heat ?

Question. What size container, inside measurements, are you using for your mold?

Олег, вернись😢 Я не ношу активочки, благодаря тебе, до сих пор😊

I know some people likely did some "weird stuff" with this recipe

How long is that jell usefull after making? and will it loose its "accuraccy" with time?

Way cool 👍👍👏👏🤓

why would you not film firing the bb into it!
