Back to "Kriminalistik"By ballistic gel one understands gel, which is used for the simulation of soft bodies within the range of the weapon research and Forensik. Characterizing characteristics are measured the gel strength of the gel, with the Bloom number. The manufacturers offer gel types with Bloomzahlen within the range between 50 and 300 Bloom, for ballistic purposes use one typically the type of gel to A with a Bloomzahl of 250.
In the material of the gel the firing channels (temporary of the projectiles and fragments can be reconstructed particularly well due to transparency. Further suitable media are soap or soft wood. It is also possible to embed with the production of the gel blocks other articles into the gel for example for animal bones or synthetic bodies. So one can meet comprehensive statements about the behavior of projectiles in the body of an animal or humans.
Important one scientific work to the characteristics of ballistic gel accomplished the American Martin L. Fackler.
