title: [Characteristics of the injuries inflicted by high-energy bullets from pneumatic air weapons].
abstract: The author compares the properties (caliber, power, speed) of the firearm projectiles and bullets with the high muzzle energy shot from pneumatic weapons. Results of experimental observations with the use of biological and non-biological objects are presented. The entry and exit wounds in the skin and bones as well as the resulting damage inflicted to the tissues and the character of bullet deformation are described.
