A ballistic gel model will give you an idea as to what a bullet does, but does nothing to answer the question of the amount of treatment needed to keep a victim alive. I guess it's more important to keep pigs alive that it is to think about a soldier's welfare!

I don't know about LA, but Indy has had 13 shooting victims in the last 2 weeks time. ( I haven't checked yet today) Bad guys also use automatic
weapons, even Ak47s in cities all over the US. It's bloody out there.

It's also disingenuous to suggest this is a Either/Or question. We can treat and save more soldiers by treating real human victims.If this is a training to
save people & not just practice shooting live animals, using hospitals for
teaching on human models is a much better option. IMO.
