Abstract

This article reports the results of analysis of the data borrowed from the special literature. They demonstrate the absence of objective forensic medical evidence needed to diagnose injuries to the human body and clothes inflicted by the darts fired from the pneumatic rifles. Meanwhile, the use of the darts differing in the design parameters has the significant influence on the morphological features of the resulting injuries. The knowledge of the dart characteristics creates the prerequisites for the differentiation between the injuries caused by these missile weapons and other metallic objects.
