Ballistic Dummy Gel Torso Headless

Ballistic Dummy Lab Gel Torso Headless — Professional Upper-Body Ballistic Target, Body Only

The Ballistic Dummy Lab Gel Torso Headless is the essential upper-body ballistic surrogate for professionals who need a dedicated center-mass testing platform. Built with the same hand-crafted, pro-grade ballistic gel as our full torso lineup, this headless configuration is ideal when your testing protocol focuses strictly on torso hits — or when you're mounting a separate head target for independent calibration. Lighter and more compact than the with-head version, it ships UPS/FedEx Ground for faster, simpler delivery.

Gel Formula & Ballistic Standard

• BDL 20% Organic Ballistic Gel Formula — proprietary clear gel blend built to the 20% NATO standard for terminal ballistics testing
• Clear gel construction provides full wound-track visibility: temporary cavity, permanent cavity, and fragmentation pattern
• Consistent density casting for repeatable, documentable results across multiple test sessions
• Organic and landfill-safe — biodegrades safely; dispose with regular trash after use

Dimensions & Physical Specs

• Weight (Loaded): ~65 lbs
• Coverage: Upper body — shoulders through mid-abdomen (no head)
• Internal mount: 1-inch OD Schedule 40 PVC pipe embedded 18 inches into the spine for secure stand mounting
• Shipping method: UPS Ground or FedEx Ground (standard single-unit) — lighter than the with-head version, no freight required for most orders

Internal Anatomy

• Loaded option: Full imitation skeleton (spine and rib cage) plus anatomically correct blood-filled organs — heart, lungs, liver, kidneys positioned to true anatomical locations
• Unloaded option: Full imitation skeleton only — no organs
• Blood color options: Red, Green, or Blue (contact us for custom colors)

Recommended Calibers & Applications

• Handguns: 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .357 Mag, 10mm — center-mass terminal ballistics documentation, duty-load selection, and wound channel analysis
• Rifles: 5.56 NATO, .308 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, .300 BLK — torso wound channel analysis, over-penetration testing, barrier defeat evaluation
• Shotgun: 00 Buck, #4 Buck, slugs — pattern spread and penetration depth at various distances
• Archery: Field points through mechanical broadheads — pass-through performance and tissue displacement testing
• Less-lethal: Bean bag, rubber rounds, and impact munitions evaluation
• Law enforcement & military training: Center-mass qualification drills, police academy range training, shoot/no-shoot scenario props
• Medical & trauma research: GSW trauma simulation, surgical technique practice, hemorrhagic wound modeling — without head anatomy variables
• Film & content production: Torso-focused practical effects, stunt coordination, YouTube and commercial testing
• Extreme testing: Flamethrowers, pyrotechnics, bladed weapons — as seen on Administrative Results and other top channels

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 testing is complete, dispose with regular household or commercial waste

Options

• Loaded — Skeleton + anatomically accurate blood-filled organs
• Unloaded — Skeleton only (no organs)
• Blood color: Red, Green, or Blue
