In response to a published assertion to the contrary, this paper briefly reviews many studies that document remote wounding effects of ballistic pressure waves including experiments in pigs and dogs that find brain injury resulting from animal models shot in the thigh and case studies in humans that document both remote brain and spinal cord injuries ascribed to ballistic pressure waves. The au...

Two types of firearms are well knownRifled and smoothbore. The shotgun is conventionally loaded with shot. Shot is a collective term for small balls of lead used primarily as projectiles in shotguns. Ammunition for shotguns in the USA is shotgun shells, shotshells, or just shells; cartridge is standard usage in the United Kingdom and India. Ballistic expertise in India of the world usually base...

Abstract This paper endeavors to discuss the long-range guided mortar projectile scheme and gliding extended range ballistics design. Starting from glide ballistic kinematics equation, analysis results show that lift-drag ratio maximum height are two most important factors affecting capability of projectiles. conclusion, verified by simulation analysis, is expected provide certain guidance for ...

Forensics and forensic science are highly popular terms nowadays thanks to famous TV series and films. Most people, inspired by these series, normally associate these terms to crime scene investigation (CSI), ocular inspection and evidence recovery. However, forensics involves much more than CSI, including a vast number of sciences, disciplines and studies such as forensic genetics, chemistry, ...

Empirical observations and an analogy with the history of ballistics illuminate ongoing debate about default choice for types functional responses, based on consumer interference. The two ideal views interference are: (1) There is no direct mutual among consumers (“prey-dependence”), (2) Consumers show strong interference, response depending number prey per (“ratio-dependence”). Each these mini...

OBJECTIVES To examine the feasibility of using the MyotonPRO digital palpation device in measuring the transverse stiffness of tendon tissue. DESIGN Experimental study. METHODS The MyotonPRO was used to measure the stiffness and related properties of ballistics gel in comparison with an external materials testing system (PCB electronics). The device was then used to measure the same propert...
