Abstract
The increasing aggression in the population, which is undoubtedly associated with the onset of narcissism, also entails an increase in the number of assaults in society. Of course, the number of clashes when a Weapon is used is also increasing. In most cases, these are weapons classified as weapons of category D (according to the Czech legislation), especially air guns, expansion weapons, and airsoft guns. This fact needs to be addressed, not by impulsive bans under duress, but by subjecting these weapons to the investigation, especially in the field of wounding ballistics, which answers the questions about the wounding potential of these weapons. This paper deals with one of these weapons, specifically airsoft gun with used ammunition lead shot. The depth of the shot and the size of the temporary and permanent cavity in relation to the distance were investigated, the contact distance was measured, and then the distance of 5 m.
Highlights
Aggression is growing in society; discussions about its causes can be lead
The fact is that the number of assaults is increasing and the number of cases, in which a weapon is used, increases. These are weapons that are classified as weapons of category D, including weapons such as flobert weapons, air rifles, expansion weapons, airsoft guns, bows and crossbows and more
It can be assumed that a 20 mm depth of shot could be theoretically achieved; it is a relatively small wounding potential of a CO2-powered airsoft gun with lead shot ammunition

In most cases, these are weapons that are classified as weapons of category D (according to the Czech legislation), including weapons such as flobert weapons, air rifles, expansion weapons, airsoft guns, bows and crossbows and more. It is necessary to determine the wounding potential of these guns. Examples of their use in the Czech Republic are:
