[Modern ideas concerning the mechanisms of gunshot injury formation (Communication 1)].
The affect of gunshot small arms depends on the weight, speed and moment of projectile's inertia, which determine the trajectory of its movement in the object's substance and the degree of braking characterizing the fullness of energy transmission. The experimental investigations on animals show that the mechanism of tissue lesion during the gunshot injuries has a very complex character and includes both the projectile's direct effect and initiation of some physical phenomena leading to significant tissue damage distally from the wound canal.
