The definitive interdisciplinary reference work for wound
ballistics Basics The book begins by providing the necessary basic
knowledge about physics, ballistics and ammunition and weapons.
Then it describes the behaviour of projectiles in humans and
animals (the physics of gunshot injuries) and introduces the
experimental simulation of gunshot wounds, including the materials
suitable for this purpose. Applications These basic principles can
be applied in forensic medicine and criminalistics. The gunshot
wound provides some forensic traces and the experimental
reconstruction helps to understand the dynamic crime process. The
wounding potential of non-lethal weapons can be determined. In
emergency and war surgery, injuries caused by small arms bullets
and fragments as well as by gas jets (of gas weapons) can be
assessed. International conventions could be freed from undefined
terms (such as "unnecessary suffering") with the help of physical
quantities. Reference work Detailed tables as e. g. ballistic data
of numerous cartridge types, also older ones, material properties,
as well as many otherwise difficult to access data and a trilingual
glossary of ballistic and technical terms in the languages German,
English and French. NEW Wound Ballistics of European Police
ammunition References to recent research results Partly coloured
illustrations Due to the increase in terrorist and criminal
activities worldwide, it is not only members of the armed forces
who are affected. Surgeons, forensic doctors, police officers and
criminalists also need to know and be able to assess the specifics
of gunshot wounds.
