@Moderators: If you feel that this post should go in the general section, please move it. I put it here cause, considering the prevailing conditions in India, didnt feel anybody would do any extensive testing with a firearm.

Good Luck!

Keep in mind that this will help you only in arriving at comparative penetration levels for a given pellet in different rifles or different pellets in a given rifle.

For detailed study the bb shot at 580fps is necessary and I dont think any of us have access to that sort of precision.

... I guess a similar material is used in testing of automobile impacts. Those dummies would make excellent training stuff :)
