Making and Testing Home Made Ballistics Gel

FBI Ballistics Gel is pretty dang expensive. So I figured out a way to make it on the cheap. In this video, I walk you through my process of how to make a relatively close copy of ballistics gelatin that only costs about $10 per target.

Adding peroxide makes it much more transparent btw

good to know! I'll have to give that a try!

​@@BallisticAviationbleach should theoretically do the same thing. You may have to play with the ratios.
5-10% store bought hydrogen peroxide to 95-90% water is the ratio you want with H2O2

@@BuckF0eJidenbleach might break the proteins down and ruin it.

[@BuckF0eJiden]

@MeCC2003 maybe. H202 is much more caustic than chlorine in most cases though.

[@MeCC2003]

@@BuckF0eJiden think about it. You can give a dog h2o2 as an emetic. If you have a dog bleach to drink. It’s a misdemeanor in most places lol

Bro you had the most non-clear “ballistic gel” of all videos I checked out, yet claimed a “clear” gel tutorial. What a hack smh…,

[@BurritoBandito140]

Ive seen the peroxide trick and i wasnt impressed. What if you added a tablespoon of powdered bleach? Would that make it clear?

[@justinsmudde2554]

Too cloudy. To see the results

Way to bait with the thumbnail. Why you gotta play me like that?

[@NOTSOSLIMJIM]

That's around $100 in gelatin
