abstract="In cases of contact or near contact firearm injury due to a rifled weapon fitted with a flash suppressor, the emerging soot-laden gas in the barrel escapes from the slits of the flash suppressor. This produces a characteristic patterned injury; like petals of flower surrounding the firearm entry wound. This &quot;flower-like&quot; pattern of searing and blackening can be used to determine the type of weapon used. This case report presents one such case of patterned injury due to flash suppressor in a 45-year-old man who committed suicide with his service SLR rifle.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
