Walking around the 146th National Rifle Association Annual Meetings and Exhibits at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta this week, we caught a few interesting displays of FBI gel in action with some very nice examples at Remington’s ammo booth and at Clear Ballistics (we’ll leave it up to you to figure out what they make).

Observe.
