In developing this product, Perma-Gel has kept two main objectives in mind:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"ol1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"li1\"\u003eTo provide hunters, shooters, hand loaders, and ballisticians with a room-temperature ballistic medium that closely simulates cold (4° C) 10% ordnance gelatin without its inherent decomposition problems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"li1\"\u003eTo provide the user with the ability to re-melt\/reuse the medium by simply using a 110-volt appliance (a turkey oven).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003eAt Ballistic Dummy Lab, we believe you will observe that Perma-Gel closely simulates chilled ballistic gelatin (for example, 2.95-3.74 inch penetration of a steel BB at 600 fps, the FBI standard), while being superior in clarity, unaffected by water, incapable of breeding bacteria, and somewhat more elastic (allowing more shots per square inch).\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn limited testing, Perma-Gel has found that trajectory, deformation and permanent wound cavities created by expanding, high-velocity (i.e., above about 1600 fps) bullets are very similar to those created in gelatin.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUsing Perma-Gel to evaluate low-velocity (i.e., less than 1600 fps) bullets will show somewhat lesser degrees of bullet expansion than in gelatin, and studying non-expanding (\"Full Metal Jacket\") bullets will show greater penetration. Although \"temporary\" cavities are not normally studied by individual shooters, the professional ballistician will find that high-speed photography will record remarkable views of temporary cavities, owing to the superior clarity of Perma-Gel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- bdl-shipping-info --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#000000;color:#ffffff;border-left:4px solid #4a90e2;padding:18px 22px;margin-top:24px;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 10px;color:#ffffff;font-size:1.15em;\"\u003e📦 Heavy Item — Shipping Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem weight: ~59 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e — Ships via \u003cstrong\u003eUPS\/FedEx Ground\u003c\/strong\u003e for standard single-unit orders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:8px 0;padding-left:20px;line-height:1.8;color:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–2 weeks from order confirmation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarriers:\u003c\/strong\u003e UPS Ground or FedEx Ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBulk Orders (5+ units):\u003c\/strong\u003e May qualify for LTL freight — \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/pages\/contact-us\" style=\"color:#9ec5ff;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003erequest a bulk quote\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpedited:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available upon request — \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/pages\/contact-us\" style=\"color:#9ec5ff;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003econtact us\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:8px 0 0;font-size:0.9em;color:#ffffff;\"\u003e📋 \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/pages\/freight-shipping-logistics?view=contact\" style=\"color:#9ec5ff;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Logistics Guide →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- bdl-shipping-info --\u003e","brand":"Ballistic Dummy Lab","offers":[{"title":"10%","offer_id":50681799213303,"sku":"BDl-SYN100","price":339.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20@","offer_id":50681799246071,"sku":"BDl-SYN101","price":424.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0299\/0302\/8357\/files\/Untitled_design_11.png?v=1780525225","url":"https:\/\/ballisticdummylab.com\/en-ca\/products\/perma-gel-18x8x8-ballistic-gel-block","provider":"Ballistic Dummy Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
