The results of the analysis demonstrate a high probability of barrel boring type distinctive features existing. In addition, has been found the opportunity to determine the type of bullet in the cartridge used to damage. Concluded that it is necessary to do an additional experimental research of the specified conditions for causing firearm injuries.
