This study tested mouse traps with blank and cattle stunning cartridges, finding close-range shots cause severe wounds. The cattle stunning cartridge can cause severe hand mutilation on contact.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic science
  • Ballistics
  • Wound analysis

Context:

  • Evaluation of spring-gun mouse traps
  • Assessment of different ammunition types (9mm blank, 9x17mm cattle stunning)
  • Testing on various media (soap, cotton, skin)

Purpose:

  • To determine the wounding potential of a specific mouse trap
  • To compare the effects of different cartridges
  • To analyze wound characteristics under varied conditions

Summary:

  • Blank cartridges fired at close range (<1cm) produce wounds that heal poorly.
  • The 600 Joule cattle stunning cartridge can cause severe mutilation, especially in contact shots.
  • Experimental shots on different materials simulate potential injury scenarios.
