Wound Studies in Porcine Skin, Muscle and Liver as Related to Variation of Velocities of Spherical Missiles
Abstract
A study of wound ballistics in skin, muscle and liver was conducted with 6.35 mm spherical chrome-steel missiles projected at striking velocities of 400-1400 m/sec. Gross and histologic tissue changes are reported. Energy absorption per centimeter of tract length was found to be approximately equal for skin-muscle-skin and liver.
