The influence of 1.5 and 3 T magnetic resonance unit magnetic fields on the movement of steel-jacketed projectiles in ordnance gelatin [PDF]
Forensic Science, Medicine, and Pathology, 2015 Ferromagnetic bullets can move in air or gelatin in magnetic resonance (MR) units. According to our experience, ferromagnetic bullets do not always present consistent movement. We examined factors affecting ferromagnetic projectile movement in a 1.5T and a 3T MR unit, focusing in this study on the steel-jacketed Swiss ordnance ammunition 7.5 mm GP11 ...

IMPACT TESTING OF ORDNANCE GELATINE UNDER MODERATE STRAIN RATE CONDITIONS [PDF]
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2018 An experimental study on energy absorption capabilities and strain rate sensitivity of ordnance gelatine was performed. Strain energy density under quasi static compression and moderate strain rate impact tests was compared. In the study two types of material were tested, bulk ordnance gelatine and polymeric open-cell meshwork filled with ordnance ...

Designing the ideal model for assessment of wound contamination after gunshot injuries: a comparative experimental study. [PDF]
BMC Surg, 2012 Background Modern high-velocity projectiles produce temporary cavities and can thus cause extensive tissue destruction along the bullet path. It is still unclear whether gelatin blocks, which are used as a well-accepted tissue simulant, allow the effects

A comparison of penetration and damage caused by different types of arrowheads on loose and tight fit clothing [PDF]
, 2018 Bows and arrows are used more for recreation, sport and hunting in the Western world and tend not to be as popular a weapon as firearms or knives. Yet there are still injuries and fatalities caused by these low-velocity weapons due to their availability ...
