Many will be aware of the tendency for gunshot injuries to be characterised by small entrance wounds and large exit wounds. In my experience presenting gunshot wound case studies to groups of military medics, paramedics, and emergency department staff, the reason for this wounding profile is not always well understood. Not all gunshot wounds have this profile and it is generally more typical of high velocity projectiles from military and hunting style rifles. In my latest blog article at danpronk.com I break down the principles behind how small bullets make big holes in things. I do refer to a couple of real life case studies with graphic images, so viewer discretion is advised. #gunshot #gunshotwound #GSW #guns #medical #medicalstudent #medstudent #paramedic #paramedicstudent #emt #tccc #tecc #doctor #surgeon #trauma #nurse #medstudentlife #veteran #military #militarymedicine #militarymedic #specialoperations #specialforces #lawenforcement #police #policetraining #onlinecourse #course
