A gel formulation for use as simulated tissue for ballistic testing includes a mixture of gelatin, a glycol, such as ethylene glycol, and water. The gel may be formed in a mold to simulate a body part, such as an organ. A ratio of gelatin to glycol may be varied, depending on the body part to be simulated. An anatomic model may be formed by incorporating simulated organs formed with different gelatin to glycol ratios. 113-. (canceled)14. An anatomic model , comprising:a skeletal component;at least one simulated organ supported on or within said skeletal component, said at least one simulated organ comprising the molded formulation of at least 2 vol. % gelatin, at least 5 vol. % of a glycol, and water; andoptionally, at least one sensing instrument in at least one of said simulated skeletal component and said simulated organ.15. The anatomic model of claim 14 , further comprising claim 14 , simulated muscle tissue surrounding said simulated skeletal components.16. The anatomic model of claim 14 , wherein said simulated muscle tissue comprises 10% to 30% by volume gelatin and from 70% to 90% by volume water.17. A method of making a simulated human tissue claim 14 , comprising:forming a liquid mixture comprising gelatin, a glycol and water; andsetting the mixture to form a molded gel formulation with a shape which simulates a human tissue.18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the forming of the mixture includes combining the glycol with a hydrated gelatin which includes at least some of the water.19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the hydrated gelatin comprises at least 70 vol. % water.20. The method of claim 17 , wherein the method further includes:forming a first simulated tissue having a first gelatin:glycol ratio; andforming a second simulated tissue having a second gelatin:glycol ratio higher than the first ratio.21. The method of claim 20 , wherein the first ratio is at least 0.1:1 and the second ratio is at least 0.15:1.22. The method of claim 17 , wherein the ...
