Wound ballistics theory and practice.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1984Ballistics is the study of the natural laws governing projectile missiles and their predictable performances, and wound ballistics is the study of a missile's effect on living tissue. A knowledge of these topics is essential to determine the extent and type of injury from a missile. The type of missile can often be determined by radiography.

Wound ballistics and blast injuries
Journal of Visceral Surgery, 2017Wounds due to gunshot and explosions, while usually observed during battlefield combat, are no longer an exceptional occurrence in civilian practice in France. The principles of wound ballistics are based on the interaction between the projectile and the human body as well as the transfer of energy from the projectile to tissues.

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1988
Shotguns are popular world wide and more of these weapons exist than the rifled types. With an increasing incidence and prevalence of gunshot wounds it is important for traumatologists to be familiar with shotgun wound ballistics. Shotgun wounds differ from those of other missiles because the spectrum of wound severity is large owing to the fact that ...

Ballistic Trauma: Wound Ballistics—An Overview
Wound ballistics is the specialty in ballistics dealing with the interaction of bullet and tissue, resulting in lesions when humans or animals are hit. The lesions depend on the velocity and mass of the bullet as well as its design. Bullets are divided into low- and high-velocity bullets.openaire +2 more sources

Gunshot wounds: Radiology and wound ballistics
Emergency Radiology, 1995Bullets of equal wounding potential may produce wounds of very different severity. Wounding is an interaction between the missile and the tissue. When attempting to predict wound severity, focusing on missile velocity while forgetting either the properties of the tissue wounded or the missile’s mass and construction leads to very poor predictions ...

In Reply.— Dr Adams' calculations do not support his contention that by "size" Amato et al meant area instead of diameter. The area of the 70.4-mm diameter cavity (11 sphere diameters of 6.4 mm each) is 3892 mm 2 , not 972 mm 2 . Rather than 30-fold, this is a 122-fold difference.

[Thoracic ballistic traumatisms. Wounding agents and wound ballistic].
Annales de chirurgie plastique et esthetique, 2003The adequate care of thoracic ballistic traumatisms implies a good preliminary knowledge of wounding agents, and of the principles governing lesion-based ballistic, in particular the role played by the meeting with an obstacle which modifies the ballistic behaviour of the projectile, with worsened wounding effects.
