same set up as above.

Made another 4 layer gel pad taped one either side of milk bottle full of water,10m, passed strait through.

Made a 8 layer gel target. 124 grams, 50.40mm thick.

37m just sitting on a fence post, was still passing strait through.. Gel was bouncing a foot back but not with any force.

So got a chicken thigh bone taped it horizontal in center of gel block, thinking it would deflect up or down.

Target: 15m / 16.4yards

Velocity at target: 890. 27fps / 271.35 m/s

Energy at target: 18.13ft.lb / 24.58j

Pellet stopped 6 layers in

4 layers gel innersoles taped to 2 litre bottle of water.

So three shots were fired.

First 2 through the gel and into the milk bottle. Both passed strait through everything.

Third shot was through milk bottle and into the gel. It caught between the first and second layer, with its skirt in first and head in second layer.

The skirt was deformed, everything else was great.

By then milk bottle was draining out and left it at that.

That was inspired geniuses with the gel, created by the fact after cutting it up for lining the aircheif stock, I relised I hadn't taken the cocking arm into account and it wouldn't fit as I thought. So about then the gel shoe liner target came into existence. I seriously didn't think it would work that well.

As you get 2 in box might have to make a thicker one to try with rifle.

Appwntly the stuff you can get to make those soft body fishing lures is great. Haven't been able to find any in nz yet. Can be got from USA.

Great report. I really like your idea of using gel shoe inserts for ballistic gel. Good one!
