Ok, so my second attempt in the gel, got flawed by my 6 y/o. So in the interest of not rescheduling, I am going to be the test dummy. I am going.to sacrifice my body to science. We will test the affects of several different fps AEG's up to 450 @ 15' away. I am not going to lie, it will hurt like hell, but I am fairly certain it will not pierce my skin. If I am wrong, well that's life. I just want to make sure if it sticks in my back, Morgan gets to POP the bb out....lol

See you in the am.

we can postpone teh skin testing, and just work on eyes and teeth.


hard boiled eggs for eyes....and some porcilin or enamel tile for teeth tests.

I'm not opposed to hitting up the butcher for some pig skin.

If we look at small butcher shops we may get lucky. People use it for cracklin's and such, so it's something they should carry. Mexican markets may be a good source too, there's one right down the street from me we can check.

This will not be anything near the real thing, it's nearly impossible to produce an even remotely accurate human tooth analogue. There are several different materials that make up healthy anterior dentition, as well as thousands of outside variables that can effect the overall structure of the tooth.

(Ask me how I know)

Your best bet may be to go with something like a simple rack with a number of equally spaced sheets of paper pulled tight. Be it printer paper, tissue paper, or whatever. Then just count how many sheets the pellet passes through. Should give you a Fairly accurate representation of penetration power with varying FPS.

I wish I were in the area to help out with this.

Simple representation:

. . . .BB. . . . . . . . . .Target. . . . . .

There has to be a better way. How about something like sheets of cardboard stacked up. Then we could at least measure how far they are piercing into the material. I will bring some boxes to cut from so we have uniform density. You guys can bring some too so we have a lot on hand.

Chesty PM me the address. I will call ya if I don't hear from ya....I am getting drilled by the dentist in the AM but I should be back by 10 or 11 AM.

Fresh pig skin can be bought for $1.09 a pound from Carlton Packing.

Where's Braddock when you need him (to drive some pig skin over here)...
