Abstract

From the area of scattered pellets, a rough estimation of range can be made. If a shot is fired in close range and pellets hit the clothing en masse this intermediate target will cause an increase in the dispersion of the shot. This ricochet phenomenon has been termed the "billiard ball ricochet effect". The thickness of the clothing, the nature of the fabric and the number of layers of the garment can alter this dispersion of the shot. In the case we present, although the pellets hit the clothing en masse, the size of shot pattern on the body was over a large area.

Özet

Saçma dağılımından faydalanarak yaklaşık bir atış mesafesi tayini yapılabilir. Bir av tüfeği yakın mesafeden ateşlenmiş ve saçmalar giysiye toplu olarak çarpmışlarsa, bu "ara hedef" saçma dağılımının artmasına neden olabilir. Bu olay "bilardo topu saçılma etkisi" olarak bilinir. Giysinin kalınlığı, dokusu, kat sayısı saçma dağılımını değiştirebilir. Sunduğumuz olguda giysiye toplu olarak çarpmalarına rağmen, saçmaların vücut üzerinde geniş bir alana dağıldıkları görülmüştür.
