Abstract

The article presents the results of an experimental study of the characteristics of gunshot injuries formed when a 9-mm Makarov pistol was fired and a bullet hit, as well as as a rebound. The purpose of the study was to develop a comparative morphological characteristic of the input gunshot injuries formed during a direct shot from a 9-mm Makarov pistol and as a result of a rebound from the surface of various obstacles. To achieve this goal, a ballistic experiment was carried out, during which gunshot damage to biological and non-biological targets was formed, formed as a result of a rebound when a 9-mm Makarov pistol was fired, as well as when a bullet hit directly. Input gunshot injuries were subjected to a comprehensive forensic medical examination using the following methods: visual, measuring, microscopic, photographic methods, ultraviolet and infrared examination, contact-diffusion, radiological and histological methods, applied statistical analysis. Based on the results of the study, a comparative morphological characteristic of the input gunshot injuries formed during a direct shot from a 9-mm Makarov pistol and as a result of a rebound from the surface of various obstacles was developed. The developed characteristic can be used during a forensic medical examination to preliminary assess the circumstances of the occurrence of gunshot injury.
