The spread of firearms among different strata of the population as a result of socio-economic changes, legislative regulation of the right to carry them or the spread of military conflicts requires conducting a series of experimental studies in order to establish the characteristics of injuries that can be caused by modern weapons. The research carried out on non-biological human body simulators covered with different types of textiles using non-lethal pistols “Fort 12R” and “AE 790G1” made it possible to establish that at a shot distance of up to 50 cm, regardless of the type of textile, a defect with a depth of at least 1 cm is formed; defects with a depth of 5 cm do not occur in cases of a shot from a distance of 25 cm or more. When using these guns, the depth of the wound channel can be no more than 6 cm. |
