	Kevin J. Mahoney-Gunshot Wounds
		In an angled-contact wound, the barrel is held at an acute angle to the skin, and gas and soot radiate outwards from where the gun does not touch the skin.
		A gunshot wound from a centerfire rifle can cause tissue to eject not only from the exit wound but also from the entrance, and as a result it is not uncommon to find ejected tissue on both sides of the wounded body.
		Gunshot wounds through clothing can be telling, however, in that they can help determine the physical position the victim was in when he or she was shot.

	Chapter 15: Funds for Firearms and Gunshot Wound Experts
		When a matter concerning firearms, ballistics or gunshot wounds is material to the defense, courts recognize the need for the defense to employ their firearms expert to view the evi-dence from the perspective of the defense theory of the case.
		In Kentucky, the Supreme Court had no difficulty in declining to second guess a trial judge's determination that a ballistics expert was necessary for the defendant's case, and that funds had to be forthcoming for defense employment of these experts.
		Firearms, ballistics, gunshot wounds may seem simple, objective, matter-of-fact sciences which allow for little disagreement, difference of opinion or potential for error.

		Wounds may also be referred to as open, in which the skin has been compromised and underlying tissues are exposed, or closed, in which the skin has not been compromised, but trauma to underlying structures has occurred (e.g.

	Gunshot Wound Ballistics
		The objectives for today's talk are to describe an array of weapons and ammunition which are commonly seen in gunshot wound injuries, as well as to describe the ballistics of projectiles from the time the trigger is pulled to the time the target is struck.
		Bullet wounds are typically oval to circular in shape and have a punched-out, clean appearance with a surrounding zone of reddish, damaged skin which is termed the abrasion ring.
		The exit wounds are excavated with a cone-line appearance and a variable amount of comminution and, generally speaking, the greater the velocity the greater the comminution at entry and exit.

	Reality of the Street? A Practical Analysis of Offender Gunshot Wound Reaction
		Such a study must examine an agency's entire population of shootings with a given cartridge to consider key factors that may have influenced offender reaction to being shot, and yet be straightforward enough that a professional statistician isn't required to process and analyze the data.
		Rapid incapacitation resulting from an extremity wound(s) only is unequivocally psychological in nature, but it is important to keep track of such events because they might indicate how often psychological incapacitation occurs in the real world.
		For example, the data may show that offenders who are incapacitated by a single gunshot wound represent mostly best case conditions, in which an offender is sober, rational, wearing light clothing, is mentally unprepared to be shot and seriously injured, and the cartridge is fired from a full-size handgun.

	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.
		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.
		Records that were not originally coded as accidental gunshot wounds but whose narratives indicate that the shooting was accidental were recoded for this analysis.

		Injuries may occur as a result of blunt trauma (e.g., road traffic accident) or penetrating trauma (e.g., stab or gunshot wound).
		Because laparotomy may be performed under a number of circumstances to diagnose or treat numerous conditions, no data exists as to the overall incidence of the procedure.
		If an abnormality is found, the surgeon has the option of treating the patient before closing the wound or initiating treatment after exploratory surgery.

	GUNSHOT INJURY
		It is essential that a detailed description of the initial appearances of such wounds are made prior to surgical intervention, where the wounds may be completely removed or otherwise distorted.
		All of these components may contribute to the wound characteristics, and can be useful in interpreting the direction of, and range of shot.
		Examples are the revolver (where bullets are brought into position via a rotating cylinder), the automatic pistol (a self-loading weapon, where shells are put into firing position by a gas operated delivery system) and the rifle (a long barreled sporting or military weapon, commonly the.22 sporting rifle in the UK).

	SIGHTINGS:
		Cogswell has alleged that when Brown's body was examined by military medical personnel, a wound that could have been caused by a gunshot was discovered at the very top of Brown's head.
		Hause agreed the wound appeared perfectly circular, which is consistent with a high-velocity impact caused by a bullet.
		Both contend that while parts of the plane could certainly pierce the skull during a crash, the resulting hole probably would be left jagged or irregular after the object entered and exited the skull.

		A retrospective study was carried out on 130 fatalities due to gunshot wounds to determine whether the combined absence of bone damage and projectile in a skeleton is sufficient to eliminate a diagnosis of gunshot wound.
		The cause of death was predominantly brain injury in cases with bone lesions whereas thoracic, abdominal, and peripheral vascular causes were more frequently encountered in cases without bone damage.
