Perma-Gel Torso Headless (No Internals)

Perma-Gel Bare no internals (No Head) — Synthetic Ballistic Torso, No Internals

The Perma-Gel Bare Torso No Head is a full 3D front-and-back upper-body ballistic surrogate built from Perma-Gel — the original synthetic ballistic gel developed in 2006 and the only ballistic gel that is scientifically tested, published, and safe to use at room temperature. If you need a ballistic torso that doesn't require refrigeration, won't decompose, and is ready to shoot the moment it arrives, this is it.

Gel Formula — What Makes Perma-Gel Different

• Synthetic, ultra-clear, non-toxic soft tissue analog — not organic gelatin; no refrigeration required
• Room-temperature stable up to 115°F — can be used outdoors in warm weather without degrading
• No decomposition or rot — store indefinitely without spoilage concerns; no shelf-life countdown
• Scientifically tested and published — the original synthetic ballistic gel standard, trusted by researchers and agencies since 2006
• Wound channels remain visible in the clear gel for post-shot analysis

Dimensions & Physical Specs

• Configuration: Full 3D torso, front and back — no head, no internals (skeleton and organs not included)
• Weight: ~58 lbs
• Variants: Available in 10% gel (FBI-standard soft tissue analog) or 20% gel (denser, approximates muscle/bone resistance)

10% vs. 20% Gel — Which to Choose?

• 10% Perma-Gel — matches the FBI/NIJ ordnance gelatin standard for terminal ballistics testing; preferred for law enforcement, ammunition development, and published research
• 20% Perma-Gel — denser formulation approximating muscle and connective tissue resistance; preferred for hunting caliber testing, archery, and applications where added resistance better reflects real-world tissue

Recommended Calibers & Applications

• Handguns: 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .357 Mag — center-mass terminal ballistics and duty-load wound channel documentation
• Rifles: 5.56 NATO, .308 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, .300 BLK — torso penetration, over-penetration, and barrier defeat testing
• Shotgun: 00 Buck, slugs — pattern and penetration depth at varying distances
• Archery: Field points through broadheads — pass-through and tissue displacement
• Less-lethal: Bean bag, rubber rounds, impact munitions
• Law enforcement & military: Qualification drills, shoot/no-shoot scenario props, published research protocols
• Medical & trauma training: Torso wound simulation without head anatomy variables
• Ammunition & product development: Repeatable, room-temperature stable testing platform for R&D environments

Shelf Life & Care

• No refrigeration required — Perma-Gel is stable at room temperature
• No decomposition — store as long as needed without spoilage
• Keep away from direct flame and sustained temperatures above 115°F
• Dispose with regular commercial or household waste after use
