		Acoustic gunshot detection systems are designed to pick up the sound of a muzzle blast from a gun and, within seconds of the shot being fired, pinpoint or triangulate within some margin of error the gunshot's location, before alerting the police about the shot being fired.
		The gunshot location and time are transmitted to a personal computer in the dispatch center in less than 2 seconds, and the gunfire information is displayed on a computerized map, enabling dispatchers to relay the information to officers on the street.
		Gunshot events are displayed on a computer map in the police dispatch center within approximately 15 seconds of the noise being made.

	Convictions tied to controversial gun-residue test (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Burns said gunshot evidence is used sparingly in the 10,000 felony cases prosecutors handle each year -- and that it is never presented to a jury without other corroborating evidence.
		Of about 100 gunshot residue tests over the past five years that were deemed positive based on two-element particles, about 70 became part of criminal cases -- though often the suspected residue was collected from a person who ended up as a witness.
		Gunshot residue is made up of tiny particles composed primarily of lead, barium, antimony and fusions of those three elements.

		By contrast, three-quarters of the victims of unintentional gunshot wounds were shot in the arms, legs, or feet, while two-thirds of the victims of suicide attempts were shot in the head or neck or upper trunk.
		Increased mortality among victims of gunshot wounds was a function of an increase in the percentage of patients who suffered wounds to the head or thoracic regions that included the vital organs.
		For most of the victims of nonfatal gunshot wounds from crime in the CDC study, little is known about the event or the type of weapon, because much of this information is unavailable in hospital emergency departments.

	Waiting for the Gun
		Field tests with real weapons have shown 95 percent accuracy with respect to gunshot recognition, and 100 percent accuracy with respect to centering an attached camera on the shooter for those recognized gunshots.
		SENTRI is an acronym for "Smart Sensor Enabled Neural Threat Recognition and Identification." The "neural" in the title refers directly to Berger's work, which was based on analysis of the "language" nerve cells, or neurons, use to convey information, and specifically on his modeling of the way the brain forms memories of sounds.
		The current line of research that led to the gunshot recognition is being expanded in collaboration with computer scientist John Granacki at the USC Viterbi School's Information Sciences Institute.

		In this manuscript, gunshot residue is defined as visible soot deposit particles, not the usual meaning of chemically or instrumentally detected primer and propellant residues.
		The gunshot residue stippling or tattooing on the mannequin skin is clearly visible in the lower areas near the cheek but fades into the upper areas near the top of the head as the density of the hair increases.
		Without understanding the dynamics and the gunshot residue-shielding effects of hair, the absence of residue surrounding the face wound in an area possibly shielded by hair could be misinterpreted as a distant shot.

	Changes in Blood Lead Levels Caused by Retained Bullets from Gunshot Wounds - DERT
		The blood lead levels declined over time but the data suggest that of the 1 to 2 million gunshot survivors in the U.S., tens of thousands could unknowingly have lead levels high enough to threaten their health.
		Since most of the subjects in the study were under 30 years of age, they could be carrying an additional body burden of lead for 40 years or more.
		The researchers recommend that gunshot victims with retained bullets have their blood lead levels monitored over time and be monitored for diseases and illnesses related to lead poisoning.

	Gunshot or Captive Bolt
		roperly applied, euthanasia by either gunshot or penetrating captive bolt, causes less fear and anxiety and induces a more rapid, painless, and humane death than can be achieved by most other methods.
		Gunshot is inexpensive and does not require close contact with the animal.
		Whereas most animals for which euthanasia by gunshot is indicated are either debilitated or down, opportunity for proper placement of the bullet is less difficult.

	Gunshot wounds in Lagos
		In the 30 years after 1960, civilian gunshot wounds of the abdomen were very uncommon in our region, with less than five cases per year seen at many teaching hospitals.
		Most were due to inadvertent gunshots that occurred during the gun salute of burial ceremonies and when hunters mistook others for game.
		This is a prospective study of all patients with abdominal gunshot wounds admitted into the accident and emergency centre of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, between January 1992 and June 1996.

	ASA 147th Meeting Lay Language Papers -The "Gunshot" Sound Made By Male Right Whales
		The time delay between the initial sound and the echo corresponds to the expected time for the sound to travel twice the depth of the water suggesting that the recorded echoes were reflections off the bottom.
		Acoustically, Gunshot sounds are similar to sounds made from a whale slapping its flipper or tail on the water, but are noticeably louder when recorded at the same distance from the whale.
		The prey of right whales in the Bay of Fundy consists primarily of large concentrations of copepods, a tiny shrimp-like organism, and it is unlikely that the right whales would need to use sound to stun or disorient their relatively slow-moving prey.

	Fatal Occupational Injuries from Accidental Gunshot Wounds, 1993-2002
		For the most part, workers who died on the job as a result of an accidental gunshot wound were similar, demographically, to the victims of fatal work injuries in general.
		In terms of age, decedents incurring a fatal accidental gunshot wound at work tended to be younger than fatally injured workers in general.
		While accidental fatal gunshot wounds represent a relatively small part of the overall occupational fatalities that occurred during the 1993-2002 period, they were responsible for approximately 18 workplace fatalities per year, on average, over that period.

	Gunshot Residue Evidence - More Junk Science?
		A Baltimore jury decided gunshot residue on Tyrone Jones' hand was reason enough to convict him in a killing, but the science isn't beyond all doubt.
		Gunshot residue, they say, can mean someone fired a gun, or was next to a gun, or touched a person who fired a gun, or touched a car seat where someone who fired a gun once sat.
		There was also a particle of barium and antimony, which some experts call likely gunshot residue, and at least 15 lead particles, which are not by themselves considered gunshot residue particles.

	Examining Gunshot Wounds - Veterinary Forensic Pathology
		The size of these cavities is primarily influenced by the density and character of the tissue affected, the size and construction of the bullet, and speed of impact.
		Gunshot wounds may not be evident immediately on external examination, especially those caused by small caliber weapons.
		Some gunshot wounds bleed surprisingly little and virtually are undetectable during gross examination.

	Why mandatory reporting of gunshot wounds is a bad idea
		Proponents of mandatory reporting of gunshot wounds argue that police must be contacted to investigate the incident, determine the risk to the public and intervene to prevent future violence.
		Victims of accidental and self-inflicted gunshot wounds (the majority of cases) pose little risk to the public at large.
		In the case of a gunshot wound, the person being reported may or may not pose a risk to the public.
