They used Clear Ballistic gel (as I do when I do my own testing, as it is temperature stable and thus easy to handle). And, yes, it is not identical to the FBI medium…which, if anything, is far LESS forgiving to ammo. So those tests—which showed penetration at just at or below the minimum depths for the FBI protocols, would have performed far WORSE.
I haven’t checked in a while, but last I looked the FBI (or other agencies) have never approved the “light recoil” or “short barrel” versions of common rounds.
