Ballistic dummy

Has anyone tried to make their own with organs/bones? Would appreciate any tips as buying one is very costly

“Deadly Force: Is Shooting a Knife Realistic?” ~ Paul Harrell

Hello,

I’m sure he has made many videos where he made realistic targets to practice with but this was one of the more recent I had come across. Around the 9 minute mark you can see he used ribs/grapefruit/etc. to make organs/bones. Hope this helps some.

Best regards,
Jason

Garand Thumb on youtube once showed a more elaborate dummy, with internal organs and blood vessels. They tested shotgun loads on it.

I would love to shoot the ballistic dummies they use on Forged in Fire.

That would get expensive for me real quick! I would want to shoot multiple targets multiple times with different SD ammo and calibers and through different barriers.
