Ballistic Dummy Lab Gel Torso Headless — Professional Upper-Body Ballistic Target, Body Only The Ballistic Dummy Lab Gel Torso Headless is the essential upper-body ballistic surrogate for professionals who need a dedicated center-mass testing platform. Built with the same hand-crafted, pro-grade ballistic gel as our full torso lineup, this headless configuration is ideal when your testing protocol focuses strictly on torso hits — or when you're mounting a separate head target for independent calibration. Lighter and more compact than the with-head version, it ships UPS/FedEx Ground for faster, simpler delivery.
