Abstract

In order to elucidate the contradictory findings in cases of suicide or homicide with firearms, firing tests were performed with various weapons shot at textile samples, block gelatine, animal and human skin, and pigs' heads. Ricochets were produced at different angles of incidence and bullets were shot through various materials introduced between the target and muzzle. The morphology and emission spectrum analyses of the entry holes were investigated, and the projectiles were collected and inspected. The morphological and chemical alterations observed at the entry holes were classified and discussed.
