FORENSIC MEDICAL ASPECTS OF GUNSHOT INJURIES INFLICTED BY SPECIAL WEAPONS
Keywords:
gunshot wound, forensic medical examination, special-purpose weapon, special reconnaissance knife, self-charging special pistol.Abstract
Forensic medical examination of gunshot wounds is the most complex problem of domestic and foreign forensic medicine. A large amount of knowledge and practical observations on injuries from standard samples of hand-held firearms has been accumulated. The emergence of new, unique samples of special-purpose weapons requires forensic medical professionals and criminologists to conduct a complex of morphological, spectral, forensic chemical, medical-criminalistic, radiological, and other special laboratory studies of injuries caused by such weapons. A case of performing a commission forensic medical examination with a decision on the differential diagnosis of fatal gunshot wounds caused by a specific sample of a special-purpose handheld firearm is presented.
