    Why is ballistics gel so expensive?



    Seems that it's almost $200 for a small block, what gives?

      Because Bill Cosby isn't endorsing it.

        I'm kind of surprised no one has figured out how to cheaply make a similar substance.

          Under $10, not the same, but not bad either. I let the kids make and shoot it.

            you can get large quantities of jello like gelatin made in china. Not sure how it really correlates to the human body since i dont know how close it is to real BG, but it's fun to shoot!!!

            Most civilization is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame.

              It's probably expensive because it's difficult and time consuming to make "accurately".

              Here's a recipe for ballistic gelatin if you want to give it a go:
