A distant range gunshot wound refers to an injury caused by a bullet fired from a significant distance, typically over 25 yards. These wounds often exhibit less tissue damage and a more defined bullet path compared to close-range wounds, as the bullet loses velocity and energy as it travels. Characteristics such as less powder residue and a smaller entry wound may be observed. Additionally, the effects on the surrounding tissue may differ, with less extensive cavitation compared to wounds inflicted at closer ranges.
