Wound Ballistics Review Volume 5 Number 2, Fall 2001 (Last Issue)

Editorial
Martin L. Fackler, MD

  • Gun Ban Promotes Hijacking

Questions and Comments

  • The shotgun:
    • Its place in the patrol officer's arsenal?
    • 00 buckshot or Foster slug: Should a PD issue both or only one or the other?
    • Why aren't saboted slugs used by law enforcement for better accuracy at longer ranges?
  • Does anyone have any credible data from reputable source about penetration of the human head after being engaged by a solid hit from a 168 or 175 Sierra Matchking?

Wound Ballistics Review Volume 5 Number 1, Spring 2001

Editorial
Dr. Martin Fackler

  • Error in Last Issue of Wound Ballistics Review
  • Future of Wound Ballistics Review

Questions and Comments

  • DiMaio's Gunshot Wounds (First Edition): Does M1 carbine produce pistol type wounds with ball ammo and rifle-like wounds with soft-point or hollow-point ammo as DiMaio claims?
  • Please Answer the Following Questions:
    • What nervous system subsystems (autonomic, peripheral, etc.) are located in the abdomen/thorax? A general description of what they do and how they work.
    • What effect, if any, would a temporary cavity (handgun, rifle) in the region of the solar plexus (and elsewhere in the torso) have on these subsystems?
    • Is it possible that one or more of these nervous system subsystems could be stimulated to the point where it overwhelms the brain's ability to cope, causing the brain to lapse into unconsciousness?  If no, why?  If yes, why?
    • Is it possible that a temporary cavity could produce a systemic blood pressure spike of sufficient amplitude to cause the brain to lapse into unconsciousness? If no, why? If yes, what mechanism causes this effect?
    • Is it possible for a temporary cavity, produced in the abdomen, to produce a reflexive response that causes a person to instantly collapse, as asserted by Tobin (in a manner similar to how the lower leg reflexively kicks when the lower knee is stimulated with a low level of blunt force?
