Ballistic Dummy Gel Zombie Torso

Ballistic Dummy Lab Gel Zombie Torso — The #1 Fan-Requested Ballistic Target

The Ballistic Dummy Lab Gel Zombie Torso is the undead upper-body ballistic surrogate that's taken the firearms and content creation world by storm. Made from the same professional-grade ballistic gel as our standard torsos, this distressed, decay-styled target delivers genuine terminal ballistics performance wrapped in the most horrifying package we've ever shipped. As the #1 requested target by Kentucky Ballistics' YouTube fans, the Zombie Torso has earned its place as a BDL icon.

Gel Formula & Ballistic Standard

• BDL 20% Organic Ballistic Gel Formula — the same proprietary clear gel used in our professional law enforcement and military torsos, built to the 20% NATO standard
• Clear gel construction provides full wound-track visibility: temporary cavity, permanent cavity, and fragmentation pattern — even on a zombie
• Consistent density casting for repeatable, documentable test results
• Organic and landfill-safe — biodegrades safely; dispose with regular trash after use

Dimensions & Physical Specs

• Weight (Loaded): ~95 lbs
• Coverage: Upper body — neck through mid-abdomen, including undead head
• Internal mount: 1-inch OD Schedule 40 PVC pipe embedded 18 inches into the spine for secure stand mounting
• Finish: Distressed, decay-style coloration with aged, decaying-look imitation bones — rigor mortis has set in
• Shipping: LTL Freight — FedEx Freight, XPO Logistics, Old Dominion, or R+L Carriers

Internal Anatomy

• Loaded option: Full imitation skeleton (skull, spine, rib cage) with aged/decay aesthetic, anatomically positioned blood-filled organs, blood-filled brain cavity in the skull
• Unloaded option: Skeleton only (no organs) — skull still includes brain and blood
• Blood color options: Red, Green, or Blue (contact us for custom colors — black blood anyone?)

Recommended Calibers & Applications

• Handguns: 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .357 Mag — headshot terminal ballistics, duty-load wound channel documentation
• Rifles: 5.56 NATO, .308 Win, .300 BLK, 6.5 Creedmoor — wound channel analysis and barrier penetration
• Shotgun: 00 Buck, slugs — pattern and penetration testing (for when the horde gets close)
• Archery: Field points through mechanical broadheads — optimal for zombie apocalypse preparation (and tissue displacement modeling)
• Bladed & impact weapons: Knives, axes, machetes, chainsaws — a Walking Dead-inspired favorite
• Extreme & pyrotechnic testing: Flamethrowers, incendiary devices, explosives testing — a content creator staple
• Film & TV production: Horror productions, zombie genre practical effects, stunt coordination, theatrical props
• Recreational shooting ranges: The most engaging reactive target experience available
• Law enforcement & military scenario training: Shoot/no-shoot props, force-on-force scenario staging

Mounting

We recommend our Steel Torso Stand for secure, level mounting. For optimal stability, use a flat surface and drill a hole through the platform for the internal PVC spine pipe. Keep wrapped until immediately before use.

Care & Shelf Life

• Shelf life: 3–4 weeks from ship date
• Store in a cool environment (40–85°F / 4–29°C) — keep out of direct sunlight
• Keep wrapped until immediately before use to preserve gel integrity
• After your apocalypse simulation is complete, dispose with regular household or commercial waste

Options

• Loaded — Skeleton + anatomically accurate blood-filled organs + blood-filled skull
