As the epidemic of gunshot injuries and firearm fatalities continues to proliferate in the United States, knowledge regarding gunshot wound (GSW) injury and management is increasingly relevant to health-care providers. Unfortunately, existing guidelines are largely outdated, written in a time that high-velocity weapons and deforming bullets were chiefly restricted to military use. Advances in firearm technology and increased accessibility of military grade firearms to civilians has exacerbated the nature of domestic GSW injury and complicated clinical decision-making, as these weapons are associated with increased tissue damage and often result in retained bullets. Currently, there is a lack of literature addressing recent advances in the field of projectile-related trauma, specifically injuries with retained bullets. This review aims to aggregate the available yet dispersed findings regarding ballistics, GSW etiology, and treatment, particularly for cases involving retained projectiles.

“…Andererseits ist es möglich, dass "High-Energy"-Geschosse den Körper bei stabilem Flug durchdringen, ohne eine temporäre Wundhöhle zu verursachen [7,11]. Dies wird in der Literatur häufig für Schusswunden durch das russische Gewehr vom Typ AK-47 beschrieben.…”

“…The crucial difference between the weapons of category B and their copies are consequences of shooting. These consequences have been widely studied in [2], [3], [4], [5]. Most studies [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12] have been focused on the wounding potential which is the ability to cause injury to the human body.…”

The topic of shooting weapons is very expended. Some people say that shooting weapons are dangerous. Other people say that people who own shooting weapons are dangerous. The truth lies probably somewhere in the middle. However, the issue of shooting weapons still needs to be addressed. Awareness of their occurrence, the wounded effect, and the appearance needs to be extended even among the lay public. Nowadays, it is needed twice. People are misinformed by media or they know incomplete or even the twisted truth. Most laymen cannot tell what is possible and what is already not possible from those information. Most shooting weapons look as the same but they can be only so-called "toys" or freely available copies.
