Approximate ballistics formulas for spherical pellets in free flight

open access: yesDefence Technology, 2018
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]

open access: yesDiagnostics
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]

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
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.
