“…Clinical criteria have been well validated in their accuracy and include colour,58 consistency, contractility37 38 and capillary bleeding 38. For this reason, it has been suggested that the mass of surgically debrided tissue (mSDT) is a better metric of the PWT 12 32 37 38 56 59 60. Jussila et al 60 performed a meta-analysis of results from different porcine studies, relating mSDT to various potentially measurable variables.…”

Injury models should use the PWT to delineate the area of damage to tissues from penetrating ballistic projectiles. The PWT, or its individual components, will require quantification in terms of the amount of damage produced by different projectiles penetrating these tissues. There is a lack of information qualifying the injurious effect of the temporary cavity, particularly in relation to that caused by explosive fragments, and future models should introduce modularity to potentially enable incorporation of these mechanisms at a later date were they found to be significant.

“…Animal models have been widely used for the study of missile trauma [10], with living animals used in experimental studies on wound ballistics to aid in military surgery [11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20]. Light [21] has studied entrance and exit wounds caused by shooting animals with steel spheres.…”

Finnish forensic experts who had performed investigations of victims of alleged political violence in Kosovo, in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, under the mandate of the European Union, carried out experimental shooting in Finland to confirm observations made during the earlier forensic investigation. Experimental shooting can be of benefit for autopsy conclusions, because the wounding potential of military weapons differs from that of non-military weapons. Assault rifle gunshot wounds were inflicted upon anaesthetised swine from various distances and angles and with variable shielding of the skin. The morphology of the skin wounds was studied and postmortem changes were documented while the wounds were being observed in cool and room temperature conditions for 13 days. Large variation was found in the size, form, and regularity, and in the presence and width of the abrasion zone of entrance and exit wounds, in addition to secondary wounds. The maximum diameter of entrance wounds varied between 4 and 40 mm and that of exit wounds between 10 and 110 mm. The width of the abrasion zone surrounding entrance wounds ranged from 2 to 11 mm. Extreme care and caution are needed when drawing conclusions with regard to cases of multiple gunshot injuries, and especially when post-mortem changes are considerable.
