Nothing but hot air? – On the molecular ballistic analysis of backspatter generated by and the hazard potential of blank guns

2020-12-22

Abstract excerpt

Blank cartridge guns are prevalent especially in countries with laws restricting access to conventional firearms and it is a common misconception that these weapons are harmless and only used as toys or for intimidation. However, although their harming potential is well documented by numerous reports of accidents, suicides, and homicides, a systematic molecular biological investigation of traces generated by shots...
