When a fired bullet strikes the body, it creates a gunshot wound. This type of wound can vary in severity depending on factors such as the bullet's caliber, velocity, and the distance from which it was fired. Gunshot wounds can cause both external damage, such as lacerations and abrasions, and internal injuries to vital organs and tissues. The nature of the wound often requires immediate medical attention due to the potential for significant blood loss and infection.

Why is the exit wound of a bullet always larger than the entry wound?
The exit wound of a bullet is typically larger than the entry wound due to several factors, including the deformation and expansion of the bullet as it travels through tissue. Upon exiting, the bullet often creates a larger cavity as it pushes aside more tissue, and the pressure and shock waves generated can cause additional damage. Additionally, the bullet may lose structural integrity upon impact, leading to a more irregular and wider exit pathway. This combination of physical effects results in a larger exit wound compared to the more focused entry wound.
What is entry exit wound?
An entry and exit wound generally refer to the two parts of a bullet wound that passes all the way through. The entry wound is where the bullet hits something, and the exit wound is where the bullet exits after passing all the way through.
What is a distant range gunshot wound?
A distant range gunshot wound refers to an injury caused by a bullet fired from a significant distance, typically beyond 15 yards. At this range, the bullet may exhibit less energy and deformation upon impact compared to wounds inflicted at closer ranges. The characteristics of the wound, such as the size and shape of the entry wound, can differ, often showing less tissue damage and minimal powder burn or stippling. These wounds can still be serious and require medical attention, as the bullet can cause significant internal damage despite the distance.
