Ballistic Dummy Gel Torso with Head

Ballistic Dummy Lab Gel Torso with Head — Professional-Grade Ballistic Testing & Training Target

The Ballistic Dummy Lab Gel Torso with Head is the most complete upper-body ballistic surrogate on the market. Built for law enforcement, military, medical researchers, and content creators who demand realistic wound channel performance and repeatable results. Every torso is hand-crafted to order in the USA.

Gel Formula & Ballistic Standard

• BDL 20% Organic Ballistic Gel Formula — our 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
• Organic and landfill-safe — safely biodegrades; dispose with regular trash after use
• Consistent density casting for repeatable, documentable test results across multiple sessions

Dimensions & Physical Specs

• Weight (Loaded): ~95 lbs
• Coverage: Upper body — neck through mid-abdomen, including full head
• Internal mount: 1-inch OD Schedule 40 PVC pipe embedded 18 inches into the spine for secure stand mounting
• Shipping: LTL Freight — FedEx Freight, XPO Logistics, Old Dominion, or R+L Carriers

Internal Anatomy

• Loaded option: Full imitation skeleton (skull, spine, rib cage), anatomically correct blood-filled organs — heart, lungs, liver — plus blood-filled brain cavity in the skull
• Unloaded option: Full imitation skeleton only (no organs) — skull still includes brain and blood
• 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 — terminal ballistics documentation and duty-load selection
• Rifles: 5.56 NATO, .308 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, .300 BLK — wound channel analysis, barrier penetration, and over-penetration testing
• Shotgun: 00 Buck, #4 Buck, slugs — pattern spread and penetration depth analysis
• Archery: Field points through mechanical broadheads — tissue displacement and pass-through performance
• Less-lethal: Bean bag, rubber rounds, and impact munitions evaluation
• Law enforcement & military training: SWAT qualification, police academy range training, shoot/no-shoot scenario props, breaching courses
• Medical & trauma research: Surgical technique practice, GSW trauma simulation, hemorrhagic wound modeling
• Film & content production: Practical effects, stunt coordination, YouTube testing, commercial and feature productions
• Extreme testing: Flamethrower, bladed weapons, pyrotechnics — used by top YouTube channels including Administrative Results

Mounting

We recommend our Steel Torso Stand for secure, level mounting. For optimal stability, use a flat surface and drill a hole to pass the support beam through the platform and into the internal PVC pipe.

Care & Shelf Life

• Shelf life: 3–4 weeks from ship date
• Store in a cool environment (40–85°F / 4–29°C) — keep away from 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 + blood-filled skull
• Unloaded — Skeleton only (no organs) + blood-filled skull
• Blood color: Red, Green, or Blue
