Bullet explosion in ballistic gel

Pretty interesting  anyone know exactly what's going on in there  trapped gas,  heat  causing it to do that I'm  guessing.

Here are the details of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stopping_power#Dynamics_of_bullets

I have fired a 44 MAG from a revolver. I found it to be pretty damn stout and not something I'd want to be in the habit of doing.

I couldn’t hit that gel at that distance

Not trapped gas, transfer of kinetic energy.  it's the same reason when an asteroid hits the ground and leaves a crater or when you throw a rock into sand and the sand bounce upwards.

Agreed with Elmo it's the air is getting superheated as it compresses back causing the flash. Not caused by unburnt powder or anything silly like that
