Approximate ballistics formulas for spherical pellets in free flight
The ballistics equations for spherical pellets in free flight are simplified through appropriate scaling of the pellet velocity and pellet distance. Two different drag coefficient curves are averaged to yield a single curve applicable to shot pellets and

Diagnostic Challenges in Uncommon Firearm Injury Cases: A Multidisciplinary Approach [PDF]
Background: Firearm wounds tend to have a precise pattern. Despite this, real-world case presentations can present uncertain elements, sometimes deviating from what is considered standard, and present uncommon features that are difficult for forensic ...

The use of human tissue surrogates in anatomical modeling for gunshot wounds simulations: an overview about “how to do” experimental terminal ballistics [PDF]
Human tissue simulating materials are currently used in scientific research mainly because they help to avoid possible ethical issues, unlike what happens with studies involving live animals and/or human cadavers.

USE OF SODIUM RHODIZONATE IN FIREARM USE CASES: CAN IT BE USEFUL IN IDENTIFYING THE SHOOTER? [PDF]
The sodium rhodizonate test is a simple colorimetric technique used to identify traces of lead and barium. A positive test provides rapid and photographically documentable results for shots fired at distances not exceeding 50 cm.

Explicit form of the “modified point mass trajectory model” for the use in Fire Control Systems [PDF]
The main objective of this article is to obtain equations of motion of the spin–stabilized projectile in the presence of non–constant wind. Introducing models allowing utilization of inhomogeneous wind is dictated by new possibilities created by the use ...
