Section 1
This is what the propellant of a bullet is commonly made of.
What is Gunpowder?
An ignition source that produces high enough kinetic energy that causes internal and external injury.
What is high velocity injury?
The name of the bruising from high-speed penetration to the heart and lungs which causes it to be weakened
What is the blast effect?
Commonly know as the first impact.
What is the primary impact?
This is known as a non penetrating trauma.
