An apparatus for characterising the fragmentation of a body following impact with a surface, particularly the fragmentation of a bird following impact with part of an intake of a gas turbine engine, comprises a gun, a target plate, a soft recovery plate across which the body's trajectory can be tracked, and a soft recovery system, characterised in that damage to the body is caused substantially only by the impact on the target plate.
