[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2597500, member: 104363"] My counter point is gel blocks are not lung tissue. Lungs have air, capillaries, veins and lung tissue. I can blow up gallon water jugs violently with most bullets. But those also are not lungs. They are essentially the same as gel. Even slow motion video of animals struck by a bullet does not produce a violent swelling of the chest, gut cavity like gel blocks. Certainly, internal lacerations of everything around the bullet path, some hydraulic force (in a blood, lung tissue, air medium), depending on bullet construction and how it reshapes or comes apart. Or, just passes thru.... Gel blocks are a visual tool for designers. I get that. But the resistance of living lung tissue vs water is not 1:1. [/QUOTE]
