Abstract

The data available from the forensic medical practice do not allow the comprehensive, objective, and reliable assessment of injuries to the human body and damages to the clothes inflicted by the shots from a 9 millimeter (.357) or higher-caliber pneumatic rifle equipped with the pre-charge pneumatic system. The use of bullets of specific structure and configuration for such weapons accounts for their marked influence on the morphological features and the extent of the resulting wounds. These peculiarities provide a basis for the objective differentiation between their injurious effects.
