Abstract
AbstractMethods used nowadays in forensic laboratories allow to stop some kinds of projectiles with degree of deformation which lets to use them for comparing traces to projectiles found on the crime scene. However they are not useful for every type of projectiles. Comparative physical tests are enough to indicate the best method for soft catching projectiles. For this aim point of view no modeling needed. The paper presents the results of ballistic tests of impact of chosen types of soft point projectiles into water. The behavior of projectiles of various shapes, with different kinetic energy, was analyzed. On the basis of the obtained results, the projectiles with the highest susceptibility to deformation were identified. Research works described in the paper were performed within the framework of the project Laboratory stand for stopping high-energy projectiles financed from the National Centre for Research and Development (Agreement no. DOB-BIO10/04/02/ 2019). The project is implemented in cooperation with Warsaw University of Technology, Military Institute of Armament Technology and Tebbex 2 since 2019 to 2022.
