Study of wounding effects and its relationship with energy of super high velocity weapon on dogs
Abstract：Objective To study the wounding characteristics of super high velocity weapon and the relationship between the wounding effects and energy. Methods Nine Hunan male dogs were wounded by super high velocity aluminium bullet shot by the explosive gun with energies of 15 360J,12 643J and 8 144J respectively while other three dogs were wounded by steel ball with energy of 843J,then the injured degree of local tissues and the pathological changes of main organs were observed.Results The limbs of dogs wounded by super high velocity weapon were mostly broken off and the injured degree didn't have notable relationship with wounding energy. The wounding characteristics of super high velocity weapon were similar to those of explosive wounds, and much more severe than those of steel ball.Conclusion Super high velocity weapon may cause severe injury to dogs. The execution of super high velocity weapon was much related to mass and momentum than velocity and energy of the bullet, and the more the mass and momentum is,the greater the execution is.
