never tried it, but it looks like a really good way to make your own custom ammo, its probably not the most durable so not sure about pistons/v-blocks

worth a shot

i didn't add what is also in the link is the proportions, and the fact that you have to microwave it

but you have to love the cornstarch non-plutonic (or what ever its called lol) liquids

Non-Newtonian. I believe they're also called shear thickening fluids. Have a look at this.

yea thats it, and i like your icon btw

holy crap they stole my idea, if you put it in a thin layer in a ziploc bag "vest" it works excellent for a light weight airsoft armor, although unnecessary when playing with snipers that puncture the bags...
