Ballistic Gelatine is a certified material to test the impact of bullets and other projectiles. The material simulates flesh. Three different home-made slingshots and four different types of ammo are used against a 3 kg block of gelatine. The impact is recorded with a camcorder that records 1200 frames per second (super slow motion), so it is possible to watch the impressive and devastating hits in detail.

  • can a average 13 yr. old pull the band back as far as you?

  • @Rumor5279 No.

  • haha you shot someone listen to ambulance @3:27 :D

    now i have a little question, i do archery with bow and arrow and you are not allowed to shoot the bow without an arrow on it, the power that normaly pushes the arrow gets in to the bow and the bow might crack, now is that the same with slingshots? or are you allowed to release the slingshot without a baal on it?

  • @benjimon2712 Dry firing a powerful slingshot is often painful, as the band will stretch out far, driven by the kinetic energy of the pouch and its own weight. Then it will snap back and hit your fork hand. Ouch!

  • is it possible to make a pair of ballistic gelatine boobs?

  • @irio3333 Sure. But they go rancid after just a few days.

  • very impressive, i can hardly believe it. ballistic gel is supposed to simulate human tissue and i have seen plenty of testing with firearms on the stuff. this video would seem to prove that your slingshots are capable of penetrating human flesh deep enough to cause trauma to major organs. it also means you could likely hunt game as big as deer with them. i will have to try and make one of your designs to see for myself. truly amazing.
