Small-caliber bullets at all firing ranges in terms of the runway in the gelatin and PPOs in the soap were significantly superior to the 7.62mm bullet. In experiments with gunshot wounds to the extremities found that Russian and American small-caliber bullet caused compared with 7.62-mm bullets more severe damage to the skin and soft tissues. Inlets on the skin with small-caliber bullet wounds in size generally smaller or the same size as the bullet, outlets were mostly extensive, rough oval or polygonal shapes with discontinuities at the edges. With injuries as small-caliber and 7.62-mm bull

For 5.56 mm M193 bullet cartridge with a full soft lead core at short firing ranges (about 10 m), which is high enough to speed characteristic extreme strain - fragmentation. In this case, the destruction of an explosive with the formation of numerous small and large fragments, making its additional wound channels (Fig. 2). At all firing ranges on the simulators biological tissues for 5.56-mm bullets cartridge M855 high breakdown characteristic of the different degrees of deformation up to the complete flattening, but unlike a bullet cartridge Ml93 without division into separate bullet

7.62 fractures leg, 556 fractures middle third of leg, 5.45 fractures middle third of leg, and tibia.
