Law Enforcement and the "bullet
designers" are constantly testing products to see how

By studying how a bullet performs when it strikes a
block of gelatin information about bullet expansion,

the details related to the preparation, use and testing
of gelatin and some alternatives. Several
resources that provide in-depth information into the use
