Zusammenfassung:	Provided is a new and improved method for examining the penetration of fragments in ballistic gelatin through the use of state-of-the art computed tomography (CT) equipment and analytical software. The inventive method can be used for fragment penetration testing as a key performance parameter (KPP). Ballistic gel containing multiple fragments are obtained, placed in a container, positioned in a CT chamber, and scanned. The scan is imported into a Volume graphics software program. A surface determination is made, which is used by one or more algorithms to isolate potential fragmentation within the gel block. The number of fragments, depth of penetration, and fragment mass are then calculated.
