After every range day, my shoulder was always black-and-blue with bruises from
firing the 12-gauge shotgun with rifled slug instead of buckshot. Shoot that ten times in a row and you'll be aching for a week. Nothing I'd rather have in
a firefight but I could do without shooting it at targets.

That doesn't make sense. There was a reason to watch it up to 20mm, but 20mm >was the limit beyond which the reason disappeared?

Because ballistic gel is intended to simulate flesh. Adding in cherry
would give a bright red color but wouldn't simulate hitting an actual
t-rex.

Well, that's interesting (...though I was being snarky). But where structural realism is intended, I'd expect some sort of skull layer.
