Influence of impact velocity and impact attack angle of bullets on damage of human tissue surrogate dd ballistic gelatin

Gen-Lin Mo et al.

Summary: This study investigated the terminal performance of bullets in the human body and examined the effects of impact velocity and impact attack angle on their performance. The expansion method was used to evaluate the bullet performance based on the expansion of cracks and the permanent cavity in ballistic gelatin. The results showed that the length of the less damaged part of the gelatin block was mainly influenced by the impact attack angle, while the average damaged area of this part depended on both the impact attack angle and the impact velocity. Cracks significantly contributed to the total volume of damaged gelatin, and the total damaged gelatin increased with the impact velocity, impact attack angle, and expansion extent.

A combined cowhide/gelatine soft tissue simulant for ballistic studies

W. Kerkhoff et al.

Summary: The ballistic resistance of a combined soft tissue simulant consisting of gelatine and tanned cowhide was studied. Adhering cowhide to solidifying ballistic gelatine resulted in enhanced consistency of the ballistic resistance. Two methods to assess the ballistic resistance of a skin simulant were described and compared.

COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF HISTOLOGICAL RESULTS OF MODERN FIRE INFLAMMATORY INJURIES OF THE COLUMN BY DIFFERENT TYPES OF BULLETS IN THE EXPERIMENT

V. Tsymbalyuk et al.

Summary: The article presents the study results on the pathological characteristics of colon in gunshot wounds in experimental animals (pigs). The authors performed a semi-quantitative assessment of hemorrhage volume in the intestinal vessels area using recorded digital images. Histological examination of the damaged colon showed significant morphological changes around the injury site, with the 5.45 V-Max bullet causing more pronounced changes compared to the 5.45 PS bullet.
