title: Wound-dynamic studies in Australia.
abstract: As part of the Australian programme of studies in wound ballistics, a facility has been developed at the Materials Research Laboratories, Melbourne, Victoria, in which the phenomena associated with the penetration of bullets through tissue simulants can be investigated. This paper outlines the development programme and describes a recent series of comparative firings of 7.62-mm and 5.56-mm ammunition into gelatin tissue simulant.
