Bullet wounds
As a bullet moves through the body, it crushes and shreds the tissue in its path, while at the same time flinging out the surrounding tissue leaving a temporary hole which is much larger than the bullet itself. This hole which has a life time of 5 to 10 msec from initial rapid growth until collapse, undergoes a series of gradually smaller pulsations and contractions before it finally disappears, leaving the permanent wound track. It is the combination of the crushed and shredded tissue and the effects of the temporary hole on tissue adjacent to the bullet path which determines the final extent of a wound. But in the case of handgun bullets the bullet produces a direct path of destruction with very little lateral extension within the surrounding tissues and only a small temporary cavity is produced.The DI Andy Horton Crime Novels - cleverly plotted, gripping, multi-layered
