Evidence of a gunshot wound includes a wound with an entry and exit point, damage to surrounding tissue, blood loss, and potential presence of gunpowder residue. X-rays may also reveal the presence of bullet fragments. An autopsy may provide further details on the trajectory of the bullet and internal damage caused.

How fast is the sound from a pistol shot?

Do you mean "How fast does the sound of a pistol being shot travels?" because technically, a sound cannot be shot. But all sound travels at the same speed. If I were to just yell at the top of my lungs, the sound I make would travel to someone's ears just as fast as if I shot a gun and someone heard it. All sound travels 340 miles a second, or 122,400 MPH (miles per hour). So the answer would be "122,400 MPH"


Is shot onomatopoeia?

No, because the sound doesn't suggest the meaning of the word.In this case, bang would be an example of onomatopoeia.


When a gun is firesit recoils why?

Because linear momentum is conserved. Before the shot, the momentum of (gun + bullet) is zero, so it has to be zero after the shot. The bullet gains forward momentum when fired, so the gun must gain reverse momentum in order to maintain the zero sum.


What energy transformations occur when a gun is shot?

When a gun is shot, chemical energy stored in the gunpowder is rapidly converted into thermal energy through combustion. This thermal energy then rapidly expands gases inside the gun barrel, leading to the generation of mechanical energy propelling the bullet forward.
