Ballistic Gel but Make It Art

Leave it to me to go do a photoshoot at a gun range and turn it into art.


I sadly only had a few seconds to execute my vision before everyone had their grubby hands all over the jello, but I did the best I could. Someone had flashlights to help me and I tried to direct them real fast so I could get the bullets path to show up better.

This was super inspiring to me and now I have ideas/plans of doing something like this but like really well. Make the gel in a tub that has no indentations, handle it with care, choose the right bullet (I think hollow point would be cute) and take the pictures in studio with proper good lighting. I imagine it's gonna take me a lot of planning and trial and error before I execute the vision I have in my mind. Until then:

Cool idea, this is the most artsy ballistic gel I have seen so far :)

I've watched a few too many ballistic videos on YouTube just to see the slo-mo shots. It's fascinating to see the results. And growing up without going hunting, I didn't appreciate what a bullet at speed can do to a fleshy something until I saw what it does to a clear block of the gel.

I once saw an art exhibit that made use of ballistic gel, it was really cool:

The ballistic gel was actually used exactly because the instructors wanted to show the students what kind of wound channels bullets can make. Obviously it would depend on if it hits a bone, cartilage etc, but at least to get the general idea.

There are many crazy folks that like to watch pimple popping videos ... I would much rather watch slo-mo ballistic gel videos.... Sometimes, they are even better when there are projectiles involved ... and not just a beautiful block of gel. ;-)

I was disappointed there wasn’t any bones inside :(
