Thats so badass! How much does ballistic gelatin run?

[TheAK47nut]

@MrSKSkill about $70 for FBI one shot gel only to $150+ for this reuseable by heating gel that we used here.

From the information I've gotten on how to make this ballistic gel it seems easy to make. But i was wondering if you can recycle the gel after it's been shot at? What i mean by that is melting it back to liquid and adding more to it to reform it back to what it was.

@GrannyWhackers1217 with real ballistic gelatin you can but with home made gel I dont know. look at the other vids of mine and youll see darker gelatin, it was overheated at reforming.

@lHustonProductionsl  Thats what all FMJ does. Did you think there would be more?

@oktoberfest124 in a few ways it is but not in terms of power penetration and over all stopping power.

@flamengishta True comparing apples to oranges Justin Beiber does suck, but realistically a 7.62x39 that fragments compared to a 5.56 that fragments causes more cavitation and permanent cavity damage. Google best ammo for self defense its on AR15dotcom tac-x in 7.62 is davastating through glass car doors and w/out barrier just to name one rd, Winchester super-X, V-max, military classic 124, silver/golden/brown bear. The 7.62 is better for damage, 5.56 accuracy end of story.

@esh325 Oh of course. I'd take a 6.5 or 6.8 any day over a 5.56 if I had the choice for combat. The only thing a 22lr and 223/5.56 wound have in common is the first few inches, regardless of tumbling or fragmenting. The 22lr will stop penetrating and the 5.56 will get it's 12"+ penetration. Sure it won't have hydrostatic shock under 2600fps but it still has bones and organs to hit which will create the fragments needed to shred vitals. 5.56=350yds, 6.5G to 1000yds. 308 need not apply.

@flamengishta The 5.56x45 has its short comings also. Many times it will leave rounds like that of a .22 LR without fragmenting or tumbling. I have a report by an army doctor where he recalls this. FMJ's regardless of caliber are usually lacking compared to say a soft point or JHP.

@gwgn02 The rules are a little different there than for the average, say, LEO or homeowner.

[gwgn02]

@VideoGameBandit I did in Desert Storm. :) Thanks for playin!

[flamengishta]

@VideoGameBandit Which is why a simple move to 77gr smk otms (mk 262) have been adopted where barrier penetration is needed in current war zones. But the point of my remarks is that in a human, the 5.56 is more devastating because of the effects I listed.

[VideoGameBandit]

@flamengishta 7.62x39 is more stable and better for punching through cover, which is a serious consideration.

[VideoGameBandit]

@gwgn02 You can't use 2 different rifles to fight with at the same time.

[flamengishta]

This video, and the 5.56 one, demonstrate why the 5.56 round is so much more lethal. And by lethal I mean you will kill someone quicker with the thrashing of a fragmenting little 55grain bullet then with the holes the x39 puts through people. Yes, both obviously kill you, but one breaks up vitals with hydrostatic shock starting as soon as 4" and stays in causing the target to take the full hit of the round...and the other makes nice little blood letting holes and keeps going.
