Table 2.

Individual modelling of the questioned injuries A and B by the mean of the “open shape” models

△S (cm) △B1 (cm) △X (cm) △B2 (cm) α (°) β (°)
Wound track A 0.5–0.8 0.4–0.5 11.7(1) + 8.2(2) 0.3 125 45
Model A 0.1(3) + 0.5(4) 0.5 11.7 (5) 0.5 125 45
Wound track B 0.8 0.3 12.8(1) + 2.5(2) 0.4–0.6 79 73
Model B 0.1(3) + 0.7(4) 0.5 12.8(5) 0.5 79 73

(1) Distance between the bone walls along the trajectory

(2) Path length in soft tissues after the ricochet on the bone wall

(3) 0.1 cm cowhide, semi-finished chrome tanned upholstery “crust”[27]

(4) Gelatine 10%

(5) Distance between the polyurethane plates in the model along a straight trajectory
