[Variability of input gunshot injuries of clothing fabrics]

One of the main components of a gunshot injury is the entrance hole. Its characteristic features: round shape, size, the presence of a central tissue defect, abrasion collar (contamination, metallization), are differential diagnostic signs of an entrance gunshot injury. Under the conditions of the conducted experiments, the peculiarities of the variability of the described signs of the entrance holes on the clothing fabrics were studied, depending on the nature of the objects to be subjected and the contact velocity of the firearm projectile. The identified features must be taken into account when examining gunshot injuries, as well as planning and conducting experimental studies with firearms.
