I'm not wrong, you are simply uninformed. If you project water (jello is water) at a sufficient speed it will cleanly pass through steel. The speed I mean would be multiple times the speed of sound. Water is actually really heavy stuff. Lots of mass because the molecules fit very closely together. So when brought to a sufficient speed the quantity of energy available will far exceed the strength of steel even a foot thick.
This effect is used regularly in industrial methods to make super high pressure water cutters for precision steel cutting as well as in demolition work to cut steel beams and such with shaped-charges. So both of those methods would fit the bill. The jello in question would be turned to steam in the process as the energy level would be beyond its ability to stay a liquid.
You think this is silly because it is not legal to teach this shit in western schools because of "Muh Terrorism" but Allah Akbar aside Explosive force cutting using water is a wonderful industrial process that is simple and cheap!
The shape of the water matters a lot when making these devices as well so that is something to keep in mind but when done properly a cylinder of water the size of a water bottle can be punched through a foot of solid steel. No Problem. Physics and Engineering are very cool and sadly our society is FAR too busy trying to understand if we are all boys and girls or helicopters instead of learning the physical interactions between matter at very high speeds and energy levels.
At a high enough energy level pretty much all solids behave as liquids as well. So your steel beam is a liquid as is the water that is punched through it. When you see it that way it makes a little more sense. (rolling eyes back)
I didn't say you were wrong actually, I asked if there would be any damage done to the jello. Like crumpling? And still this is completely off topic since it's all hypothetical and nothing was travelling that fast...

With enough speed Jell-O can penetrate steel...

(rolling eyes) assuming this is even slightly factual, would there be damage to the jello????
