Ballistic Gel Half Leg

Ballistic Dummy Lab Gel Half Leg — Knee-Down Anatomical Ballistic Target

The Ballistic Dummy Lab Gel Half Leg is an anatomical replica of the human lower leg from the knee down — including tibia, fibula, ankle, and foot bones — built with our 20% BDL organic ballistic gel. Purpose-built for testing and training applications focused on the lower extremity below the knee: lower-leg GSW mechanics, ankle and foot injury research, tourniquet application below the knee, and scenarios where a full-leg target is more than you need. A more compact, more affordable entry point into BDL’s extremity target lineup.

Gel Formula & Ballistic Standard

• BDL 20% Organic Ballistic Gel Formula — built to the 20% NATO standard for terminal ballistics testing
• Clear gel construction for full wound-track visibility through soft tissue and bone
• Thermally stable organic formula — handles heat and weather better than standard gelatin
• Organic and landfill-safe — safely biodegrades; dispose with regular trash after use

Dimensions & Physical Specs

• Configuration: Lower leg only — knee to foot
• Internal structure: Tibia, fibula, ankle, and foot bones embedded in clear gel
• Price: $395 — most affordable BDL leg target

Recommended Calibers & Applications

• Handguns: 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP — lower-leg wound channel and bone interaction documentation
• Rifles: 5.56 NATO, .308 Win — lower-extremity penetration and fragmentation through tibia/fibula geometry
• Shotgun: 00 Buck, birdshot — lower-leg pattern and penetration at close range
• Medical & trauma training: Lower-leg GSW simulation, below-knee tourniquet and wound packing training, tibial fracture modeling, ankle/foot injury research
• Law enforcement & military: Lower-extremity shot training, IED blast lower-leg interaction, fragmentation studies
• Archery: Lower-leg and ankle penetration and bone interaction
• Film & content production: Lower-leg practical effects

Leg Target Comparison

• Half Leg ($395) — Knee to foot; lower-leg and ankle/foot focus
• Full Leg ($629) — Hip to foot, straight position; full lower-extremity testing
• Bent Leg ($629) — Hip to foot, flexed/kneeling position; scenario-specific geometry
