When the expansion exceeds skin elasticity and resistance, it will tear, resulting in an entrance gunshot wound with a stellate or irregular appearance
- Practical Pathology of Gunshot Wounds Open Access - Allen Press
Size does not determine whether a gunshot wound is an exit wound; rather, it is the lack of a margin of abrasion that distinguishes an exit wound from an entrance wound Exit wounds may have small marginal tears caused by the bullet pushing the skin outward
- GUNSHOT WOUNDS - Pathology Expert
Enterance: margin of abrasion, round or oval defect, size usu smaller than bullet (elasticity of skin), + - fouling stippling Fouling Stippling may be absent: clothes, hair, blood washes away soot, handling, efficient ammunition, type of powder
- The Clinical Forensic Evaluation of Gunshot Wounds in the ED
All entrance wounds will have some degree of an abrasion collar, with the exception of those wounds to the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, where the epithelium is highly keratinized Abrasion collars may also be referred to as an abrasion margin, abrasion rim, or abrasion ring
- Gunshot Wounds Forensic Pathology - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
Gunshot wounds typically consist of the permanent tract or cavity, surrounded by a perimeter of abraded tissue called the abrasion rim The wound also contains a grease collar, resulting from the accumulation of lubricant on the tissue during penetration by the projectile
- FIREARMS TUTORIAL - University of Utah
A study by Dixon (1980) showed that such wounds have a greater wound diameter and demonstrate greater marginal abrasion than control wounds produced by the same weapons The features were directly proportional to the KE of the projectile and the rigidity of the shoring material
- An Unusual Feature of Graze Gunshot Wounds - PMC
The initial point of contact or the proximal corner of a graze wound may have a partially round or crescentic margin of abrasion resembling a portion of a typical entrance wound margin of abrasion This can be helpful in distinguishing a graze wound from a laceration and in determining direction
- Gun shot wounds - WikEM
Marginal abrasion, fouling, stippling Plastic wad may be found in body if range <5-10 feet Close range (<12 inches) may have ~1 inch diameter single hole with fouling
