Ballistic Sim Torso

Ballistic Sim Torso

The Ballistic Sim Torso is a specialist life-size test simulant manufactured for professional forensic, defence, training and technical applications. The standard model uses 20% NATO ballistic gel and can support forensic analysis, sniper training, PPE testing, ballistic research and controlled demonstration work.

Manufactured to order, each torso can be configured according to the intended test environment or training requirement. Customers can select the principal analogue material and choose whether to include an internal skeletal system.

The standard configuration combines 20% NATO ballistic gel with no skeletal system. However, alternative options include ballistic soap and a model incorporating a skeletal structure.

If your project requires a configuration that is not listed, contact our team to discuss the required specification before ordering.

Ballistic Sim Torso for Professional Testing

A life-size ballistic test simulant provides a more representative human-form platform than a conventional rectangular gel block. Therefore, technical teams can use the torso for controlled testing, training, demonstrations and comparative assessment.

Potential professional applications include:

• Forensic analysis and reconstruction
• Ballistic testing and research
• Specialist firearms training
• Sniper training exercises
• Personal protective equipment testing
• Body armour assessment
• Controlled technical demonstrations
• Research and development
• Equipment evaluation
• Specialist instructional environments

Furthermore, the life-size format provides a clear visual reference during technical demonstrations and training scenarios.

20% NATO Ballistic Gel Torso

The standard configuration uses 20% NATO ballistic gel as the main analogue material.

Ballistic gel provides a practical medium for controlled forensic and ballistic applications. Consequently, it can support comparative testing and technical demonstrations where users require a consistent analogue material.

For applications requiring a different test medium, ballistic soap is also available as an alternative configuration.

Main Material Options

Customers can choose between:

• Ballistic Gel – 20% NATO: Standard option
• Ballistic Soap: Alternative material

If another configuration would better suit your application, please contact our team. We can discuss available manufacturing options and the intended technical use.

Optional Skeletal System

The torso can also incorporate an internal skeletal system.

The standard Ballistic Sim Torso contains no skeletal structure. Alternatively, customers can request a skeletal system where their test programme, demonstration or training scenario requires additional anatomical simulation.

Skeletal Configuration Options

• No skeletal system: Standard option
• Skeletal system included: Optional configuration

As a result, organisations can specify a product that more closely matches their particular testing or training requirements.

Forensic and Ballistic Testing Applications

The life-size format makes this product suitable for organisations conducting controlled technical evaluations.

Forensic teams may use the simulant during reconstruction, research or demonstration activities. In addition, defence and specialist training organisations can incorporate the torso into structured training scenarios.

PPE manufacturers and technical testing teams may also use a human-form analogue when evaluating protective equipment under controlled conditions.

Because requirements vary between applications, the configurable construction allows customers to choose the most appropriate combination of analogue material and skeletal structure.

Made-to-Order Test Simulant

Every torso is manufactured specifically for the customer’s order. Therefore, production and dispatch may require more time than standard stocked products.

If you are working towards a specific training date, testing programme, demonstration or project deadline, please contact our team before placing your order.

We can advise on current production times and availability. Additionally, discussing specialist requirements before manufacture helps ensure that the selected configuration matches the intended application.

Product Specification

Standard material: 20% NATO ballistic gel

Alternative material: Ballistic soap

Standard skeletal configuration: No skeletal system

Optional configuration: Skeletal system included

Production: Made to order

Applications: Forensic analysis, ballistic testing, specialist training, PPE evaluation and controlled demonstrations

Configurable Life-Size Ballistic Test Platform

Different technical applications require different simulant characteristics. For this reason, customers can select the principal material and skeletal configuration according to their requirements.

The life-size format also provides greater anatomical context than a standard test block. Therefore, it can offer a useful platform for demonstrations, research and professional training.

Furthermore, the made-to-order approach provides flexibility for specialist projects where an off-the-shelf simulant may not provide the required configuration.
