It is freaking cold over here in DFW (at least for us in the South). It was 36F is inside of the Garage, and 24F is outside:
We had a "left over" giant Gummy Bear. And I mean giant - like 1 pound or so!. Didn't taste good (shocker, right?), so we have most of the body left for something....
Since it had that "soft but firm consistency", I thought this might be "similar" to ballistic gel (or close enough), so I told my son (recently hooked on Air Guns): do you want to learn what different type of pellets do? He of course agreed with a smile
We shot it with .177 pellets (Crosman M4-177, FWB 602, and Beeman R1), and then with my son's Benjamin Discovery in .22. It was of course with the .22 (at about 16-17ftp) that we had most "fun". It was educational for him to see first hand hollow-points expanding!. The Crosman Premier round/hollow-points are of course harder lead, so did not expand much, but when we tried the Beeman Crow Magnums, my son was shocked at how little penetration it got - once we "cut" them out of the "ballistic gel", he realized why (L to R - Crosman, then two of the Crow Magnums):
Block is still useful, so I am sure we will practice some more with it before we finally throw it away!
