Ballistic Dummy Lab Gel Head — The Most Anatomically Accurate Ballistic Head Target Available The Ballistic Dummy Lab Gel Head is our most popular product — and for good reason. It's the most anatomically accurate blood- and brain-filled ballistic skull replica on the market, engineered for serious ballistic testing, blunt force trauma research, medical simulation, and content creation. Every detail matters here: not just the skull geometry, but the skin thickness surrounding the skull, modeled as close to actual human measurements as possible. This is what separates a BDL head from every other gel head target on the market. Gel Formula & Ballistic Standard BDL 20% Organic Ballistic Gel Formula — our proprietary ultra-clear gel blend calibrated to approximate FBI/NIJ 10% ordnance gelatin wound channel characteristics with standard service ammunition Clear gel construction allows full wound-track visibility: entry wound, temporary cavity, permanent cavity, and fragmentation pattern through the skull and brain cavity Skin-thickness layer accurately replicates human scalp depth — critical for realistic entry wound and fragmentation data More thermally stable than standard gelatin — our organic formula handles heat and extreme weather better than traditional 10% or 20% gelatin blocks Organic and landfill-safe — safely biodegrades; dispose with regular household trash after use Dimensions & Physical Specs Scale: Full human head size — adult proportions Skull: Anatomically modeled human skull design embedded within the gel Skin layer: Gel skin thickness calibrated to approximate real human scalp measurements Internal cavity: Brain simulant and blood packs loaded inside the skull Blood color options: Red, Green, or Blue (contact us for custom colors) Weight: Varies by configuration; ships UPS/FedEx Ground Internal Anatomy Anatomically modeled human skull embedded in clear ballistic gel Brain simulant fills the cranial cavity for realistic intracranial pressure and fragmentation behavior Blood packs inside the skull replicate the vascular environment of the human head Gel skin layer over skull for scalp-accurate wound entry behavior Recommended Calibers & Applications Handguns: 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .357 Mag, .22 LR — headshot terminal ballistics, duty-load skull penetration, and wound channel documentation Rifles: 5.56 NATO, .223 Rem, .308 Win, .300 BLK — skull penetration, fragmentation, and brain cavity behavior at various distances Shotgun: 00 Buck, bird shot, slugs — pattern spread and penetration at close and medium range Archery: Field points through broadheads — arrow penetration and skull interaction Blunt force trauma testing: Bats, pipes, impact tools — realistic skull fracture and brain cavity response Less-lethal: Bean bag rounds, rubber bullets, impact projectiles Medical & forensic research: GSW cranial trauma simulation, skull fracture modeling, forensic pathology training Law enforcement & military training: Headshot scenario qualification, shoot/no-shoot props, sniper training aids Film & content production: Practical effects, stunt coordination, YouTube firearms and survival testing — the #1 fan-requested BDL target Knife, blade & impact weapon testing: Realistic skull and scalp resistance for edged weapon research Care & Shelf Life Shelf life: 3–4 weeks from ship date Store in a cool environment (40–85°F / 4–29°C) — keep out of direct sunlight Keep wrapped until immediately before use to preserve gel integrity and skin-layer clarity After testing is complete, dispose with regular household or commercial waste Options Blood color: Red, Green, or Blue Want a custom color or configuration?
