“…Our results show that the presence of textile fibres is not a suitable criterion to distinguish a gunshot entrance from an exit wound, as was claimed by Straßmann in 1919 [16]. Especially when firing shots at jeans material, the density of textile fibres displaced in an anterograde and retrograde fashion was comparable (Fig.…”

“…In the first half of the 20th century, the question was discussed whether the presence of textile fibres in a gunshot wound may be suitable to differentiate between entrance and exit wounds [9,16]. It was assumed that the number of textile fibres at the bullet entrance site was clearly higher than at the exit site.…”

In the past, the presence of textile fibres in the bullet track of gunshot injuries in body regions covered with clothes was used to differentiate between entrance and exit wounds; as with handguns, a displacement of textile fibres was considered possible only in the direction of the shot. In the present study, the transfer of textile fibres from the entrance and exit regions into the bullet path was systematically investigated with the help of a skin-gelatine composite model. For this purpose, the skin of the bullet entrance and exit region was covered with textile fabric (jeans or jersey material), before conducting four test series of ten test shots each firing a 9-mm Parabellum full-jacketed projectile from a distance of 2 m. The length of the bullet track was 25 and 8 cm, respectively. Subsequently, the bullet tracks were microscopically investigated in sections for the presence of textile fibres. In all the investigated bullet tracks, textile fibres both from the entrance and exit regions could be demonstrated. The distribution pattern depended on the length of the bullet path and the extension of the temporary cavitation. The results are discussed in relation to the relevant literature.
