Ballistic Gel Rat

Precision Testing for Small-Scale Scenarios

Introducing The Rat, the newest, most detailed, and smallest entry into the Ballistic Dummy Lab (BDL) Animal Collection. Designed for researchers, pest control professionals, and ballistics experts focusing on micro-caliber and low-velocity projectiles, The Rat provides an unprecedented level of forensic detail for compact target analysis.

🔬 Model Features and Benefits

• Compact Anatomy: Replicating the size and mass distribution of a common rodent, The Rat allows for accurate, repeatable testing against an extremely small and dense biological proxy.

• Proprietary Gel Formula: Constructed from our scientifically validated ballistic gelatin, guaranteeing accurate comparison to human tissue response ($P_D \approx 10\% \text{ ordnance gelatin}$).

• Micro-Caliber Specific Data: Provides crucial data on bullet upset, fragmentation, and kinetic energy transfer specifically relevant to:

  • Air rifle/pellet gun performance

  • .177 and .22 short ammunition

  • Specialized pest control loads

  • Non-lethal/less-lethal small projectiles

• Ideal for Close-Range Study: The small size minimizes the medium surrounding the impact zone, focusing the analysis sharply on terminal performance within the target itself.
