Abstract

A comprehensive approach to gunshot injury during a forensic medical examination requires a comprehensive assessment of all discovered material evidence. The key area that needs the most attention is the gunshot wound, during the examination of which it is necessary to pay attention to such characteristics as the shape, the size of the injury, the features of the damage to the adjacent clothing, the presence of macro and microscopic traces of the residual components of the shot, etc. All of them together allow vessels to know the nature of the injury, the weapon that caused it and the distance of the shot. The least researched type of firearm from a scientific point of view is non-lethal firearms, the number and new types of which are increasing every year. In this regard, there is a need to study modern and widespread in Ukraine samples of non-lethal firearms.
