Ballistic Gel has been waaaay misunderstood by the public. As a firearms instructor, let me explain.
Ballistic Gel is calibrated to the average density and water content of the human body. It isn't used to measure things like penetration, as you too often see.
What Ballistic Gel is actually used for, is measuring something called "Cavitation". This is what happens when the force of a projectile imparts its energy and pushes the medium away. It creates a "Cavity", a large opening. The damage done by a bullet has nothing to do with penetration, because most often the cleanest, deepest shots like through-through shots do the least damage. (Ever see in a movie, "You got lucky, it's a through shot. There's an exit wound.") Well, that became a medical trope because of Cavitation (a bit because of infection too).
A bullet with high penetration, going straight through you, means that only a portion of the energy was transmitted to you and the rest kept going. The most lethal shots are when the bullet doesn't go through and transfers ALL of its energy into your body, creating a massive cavity and sending a shockwave through your body's soft tissues doing damage to soft organs that the bullet didn't even hit. A bullet that's a "near miss" like the movies can still rupture lungs, bruise the heart, tear the liver... etc.
Watch any ballistic gel video in SloMo and you'll see as the bullet goes through, behind it, the gel (and flesh) will blast open, creating a massive hole, and then just and quickly slam back shut creating secondary shockwaves through the gel. It's like standing next to a bomb, those shockwaves tearing through your body are what do the real damage. Imagine you had a hole the size of a small melon in your gut... when you get shot, for a split second... you actually do!
This is what Ballistic Gel is actually measuring, it's meant to be viewed in SloMo or a single frame to look at the size of the cavity created to understand the energy transmission into the target.
Edit: Also, one thing I left out about why they aren't used for penetration testing.. is pretty obvious. SKIN. Skin is very hard to penetrate, it makes a huge difference, and on top of that human flesh isn't all one smooth consistency. We have leathery tough skin, gel like soft fat, hard and fibrous muscle and dense wood like bones. Gel is a terrible analog for actual human flesh. It only mimics the general density and way that flesh "wobbles" and reacts to a shockwave or pressure change. You can push your finger easily into Ballistic Gel.. you can't just push your finger through someone's skin. (Don't be crude :[ I worded that carefully! lol)
I hope this was helpful, and now you know what to look for whenever you see Gel shot footage.
If anyone has questions, feel free to ask. If you want to nitpick, just understand I tried to make this easy to understand and I know I left stuff out. I'm more than willing to discuss!
@@Eric-qo9st Like two minutes... I'm not lazy. Also, I teach because I enjoy teaching. If a few people learn something new, then it's two minutes well spent.
The real question is why you shortened an already short, three letter word; "y-o-u", to a single letter. That's kind of crazy! Lol Go ahead and do you...
Maybe I just have a bit more patience than most?
@@DanteYewToob So that gel has consistent density throughout but the human body consists of organs, muscle tissues, bones and stuff with different density. Do correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just processing everything you said. Thanks for the explanation.
I'm just gonna like it because of how big it is 😂😂😂

Interviewer:is it long
Mike:long is too short for this story
Interviewer:how many talents do you have anyways?
Mike:yes
It would be easier to tell him what he can’t do
No he could say my talent is learning talents quickly
Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air
In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'
I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suit case and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my Walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.
First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like?
Hmm this might be alright.
But wait I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, all that
Is this the type of place that they just send this cool cat?
I don't think so
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air
Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested yet
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought 'Nah, forget it' - 'Yo, homes to Bel Air'
I pulled up to the house about seven or eigth
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

As an archer, I don't think it can be emphasised enough how incredibly impressive this is - shooting these sorts of weapons accurately and consistently requires perfect positioning and posture every shot.
I think this is the most impressive skill you've mastered yet, Mike. The candle shot blew me away! Looking forward to seeing if you can top this! 😀

Learn how to be an accurate archer! no fancy compound bows, be old fashioned and use a traditional recurve :)
I would say use more of a long bow, for a sort of harder and tedious battle. But I do like the idea of Mike with a recurve and a quiver.

This and the unicycle video was my favourite! But I love all your vids! I learned to ride a unicycle after watching your video! It took me 3 weeks to learn with probably close to 4 or 5 hours a day with maybe 2 to 3 days off each week! It took forever for me and was really frustrating, but it was also alot of fun! I can now say that I 100% know how to ride a unicycle! The feeling of ecomplishment i got from it was amazing! The slingshot I picked up on my own! I learned how to make my own board cut slingshots! I got really into the slingshots they are alot of fun! And you can get Ridiculously accurate with them! Keep up the good work man! One of my new years resolutions in to learn new skills, and your videos help keep me motivated! I always enjoy seeing the excitement you get when you learn something new!😁✌
I found a large round magnet when I was about Ten and accidently found it would pull the steel ball bearings I was shooting to it which saved me a 'lot' of money, 66 years ago, LOL
So I attached it to a section of an old fishing pole so I could save the bearings on the ground around my target.
I've always managed to get my bearings from auto shops, etc
since they are always throwing away used wheel bearings.
And if you go to Harbor Freight, Lowe's, or Home Depot, etc. they sell a large 3" diameter magnet which can be mounted onto wooden pole with a screw.
A bag of marbles is very economical and are fairly accurate out to 15 yards BTW.
Hope this information helps someone, because shooting a Slingshot is still a lot of fun, even after all these years and if necessary can put food on the table - from critters to fish.

yes
Yes, start with the thumbaround.
Alot of people (including myself) actually use slingshots for hunting game. They are deadly at the right distances and are so fun to hunt with. We normally use flat bands tho as they are generally more accurate. If you look up gamekeeper john he is a master slingshot hunter and has amazing accuracy, I've seen hit a swinging steel ammo with the same size ammo. I myself would consider myself an intermediate shooter, I can land headshots on pigeons 3 out of 5 shots most of the time, and I can get body shots 99 percent of the time. Great to see people getting out with the catapults and shooting
You must be the most skillful man on earth. literally.

For the next, learn archery please
video idea: learn archery
ha, best thing ive heard all day
i learned to shoot my slingshot using point shooting exclusively, and i can hit a pop can pretty easily at around 20 feet. i keep both eyes open, and i pull the pouch back like a bow. you can pull WAY farther when you pull across your chest like you are holding a bow, and it lets you shoot way, way further if you want. also i never hold my slingshot sideways. my point is, you don't "have to" shoot your sling shot in any particular way. it is very much an instinct shooting thing, and it really doesn't matter what you are doing so long as you are hitting your target consistently
For your target, if you make the wood part a deep box, that is just a wood frame except the back plate, then staple the cardboard to the front and sides, you not only eliminate the bounce back, you also make a trap that allows you to reuse your ammo. your shot will go through the first sheet of cardboard, hit the solid wood and then stay contained.
Dude, don't do glass on the beach. It's hard to find all the pieces and someone's foot/hand will get messed up.
He did it in an abandoned quarry
Lukas LEGO If you look later, he broke a small glass bottle followed by two eggs on a beach.
Yeah and it was whisky he wasted like any other thing il like k but whisky???
Do glass
It's coz he's a selfish brit that doesn't care about any other people. It is what it is
8:20 you know he’s confident in his aim when he’s got a really expensive camera in the shooting zone.
There's probably a clear pane of plastic or ballistics glass in front of the camera.
@@Jempai I doubt it. Slingshot is just not that hard. It's super fun though and once you know how to hold it, you improve very quickly. Highly reccomended for a hobby. I dont reccomend getting his slingshot though. Tube bands are less efficient, especially with small ammo. He has an unnecessarily heavy draw weight for that ammo. Tripple tube bands is just a gimmick to make people think its powerful. You are far better off with flat band slingshots because you can go as thin or as thick as you want in the bands. Plus you can even stack multiple bands to test ultraheavy ammo. The slingshot he uses is 20 bucks on amazon. You can get a nicer slingshot for less than that on amazon or from simpleshot or even alibaba. Believe it or not, heavier slingshot bands do not shoot faster. They actually shoot slower, UNLESS you are using very heavy ammo. Heavy bands move more slowly than thin light bands. So unless you need them for heavy ammo, they are actually slowing your shots down. For example, a bb shoots best from a 6lb draw weight band, but a 1/2inch steel ball shoots best from around 20lb draw weight band. With giant 20mm lead balls youd want to increase this to about 70lbs. This guys slingshot will shoot 1/2 inch steel balls pretty well, but not as well as a flat band slingshot with 1mm thick bands and proper taper. Thats the thing about flat band slingshots. We can taper our bands for more power at the same draw weight, tube slingshots can not do this. They are also harder to learn to be accurate with, especially since he has 3 unstacked bands. I can reccomend plenty of youtube channels for slingshots and plenty of great slingshots for less than 20 dollars if anyone is interested. Building your own slingshot is also fun. If i was this guy id have researched slingshots more before I bought that cheapy, pot metal, amazon slingshot. You can get one made from 1 solid piece of steel for like 6 bucks. I personally wouldnt trust his slingshot not to break in my face. Its not a nice slingshot. Ive seen his slingshot on alibaba for like 3 bucks only to be resold on amazon for 20+.
@@alexcrowder1673 what slingshots would you recommend?
i started using slingshots when i was about 9, its a very huge thing in my country, i never bought a one, i always made them with trees branches that's shaped like a V and a piece of leather from old shoes and some rubber that they use to tighten around your arm in the hospital, its called blood tubes in the Arabic words, i don't shoot sideways, i shoot normal but I'm super accurate and i do what's called a butterfly draw which i draw it really far to create crazy energy, and i used rocks and if im hunting i use marbles for super accurate shots, what im trying to say is that you don't need to buy a slingshot, you can make one that is way better than the ones on the market, you don't have hold it sideways, and you don't have to buy expensive luxury steel balls, just practice and love it❤️
Good job. For the novice, start close, like 15'; use the big card board and 6" circle. Find that spot/hold to pull your pouch to. Hold the pouch hand very still during the release of the ball.
Here's an idea! Three actually.
1. Learn to parkour.

Hey Vsause, Michael here.

Looks like fun! I want to learn how to shoot a bow and arrow
That's a good idea :)
Do it! I shot archery for several years when I was younger in a league with my mom and it was fantastic fun. Even went to a couple outdoor shooting tournaments where you'd basically go for a walk through the woods, stopping at designated spots along the path and shooting targets littered throughout the trees. And honestly the archery community was one of the friendliest and most welcoming sporting communities I've ever been a part of.
Its a lot like how he described shooting the sling shot make sure you always pull back to the same point on your face
Do it! Recurve is so fun
Witch bow? Medieval types of bows,recurve bows,compound bows
I love your videos and they have inspired me to learn whatever I can like cubing, violin, keyboard, guitar, saxophone, juggling and FINALLY completing mega man 2. That said, you should try speed stacking!
That's a black widow catapult, And I walked into a shop totally unsupervised and got myself one two when I was a teenager. I managed to keep it a secret from my parents and played with mine. Still got it somewhere.
over my 70 years I fond that flat bands are best- light weight pull means accuracy- matters not how powerful you can pull if you then miss the target- I like 7/16 steel balls- great for plinking and to get rid of deadly snakes-
It's so cool watching his RUclips channel grow I can't wait tell he's big stuff

You could use bottles made out of sugar. Fill it with flour or powder paint and then shoot them. This way you don't hurt animals if they step in the shards

This shows that you can learn everything by just giving it time. Thanks for the motivation
time and dedicated practice
I love how supportive his wife is in the videos. Even though he spends countless hours doing these videos she still can be happy and cheerful when you finally succeeded in his goal.
this is very similar to traditional archery where one of the areas that people see the biggest benefit is in the consistency of their anchor point or where the farthest end of the draw is located. finding this point and being able to do it consistently will help improve accuracy and your ability to shoot instinctive
6:03 Thanks for this shot. pun intended. very appreciated .

@@MarinkaD God damn dude.
brought back some great memories I had with my dad as a kid. he could hit anything from anywhere with a homemade slingshot and some random pebbles, none of this fancy stuff. blew my mind! he would also have been quite upset that you did not empty them beer bottles first... I love your content bro!
by "empty" you mean drink lol
I've also decided to switch to the slingshot. I'm normally an archer, but with everything going mad these days, I thought if I needed to survive, a slingshot would bare better than a bow. I'm just skimming through videos to grab some knowledge to support my change of weapon. Going well so far. I slung a grape for curiosity and fun, and it exploded! 🤣🤣🤣 I'm still a bowman, or an archer, and that has helped my accuracy. Thank you for making this video.
Your comment definitely RESONATED with me! I myself have been planning on learning slingshot. I’d like to try archery too, but with ongoing global situation, having a tool to protect yourself is so vital.
Good luck on you slingshot journey.
you are better off going with archery, because if SHTF then how will you find new latex bands for your slingshot? XD
A moment of silence for all of those lost beers, please. Even if they were San Miguel, which is minging.
Dude you can't learn to slingshot without doing a collab with joerg sprave
In here I never seen someone is selling a slingshot, we usually make them from tree branches, and for the ammo we use gravel or an unused little bolt if you want extra damage
When the music stops, you know that something epics coming your way
IDEA: Have your wife (or girlfriend idk) do "Learn How to Make a RUclips Video", with her learning to film, edit, write, post, etc. (cuz you already know how to do one)
This guy gonna survive the zombie apocalypse easily
Woulda been really clever had you gotten training from Joerg Sprave :p
Note.
The gel is a good representation of human flesh in terms or hardness but the friction it causes is way more than flesh causing penetration to be much less
YOU NEED MORE SUBS MANNNN. UR CONTENT IS AMAZING!!!
Do pen spinning next
i'd like to see that but it takes like a couple days at most
Came here for slingshots, stayed for your voice and accent, subscribed.
You should be wearing eye protection, it's no joke when those bands snap.
Wow the new dude perfect video looks great!
every time you make better videos.. loving your channel!!
I just started this is my day1, sooo much fun. You get more accurate, if you aim with the same eye as your hand that pulls back the rubber. The bottom rubber should be perfectly lined with the top one, and your target should be on the top rubber holder.
I love how Mike is always so wholesome
