POSSIBILITIES OF FORENSIC MEDICAL EXAMINATION IN DETERMINING THE TYPE OF BARRIER, FROM WHICH A REBOUND OCCURRED WHEN FIRING FROM A SMOOTHBORE WEAPON

The article presents modern approaches to carrying out forensic and medical follow-up of gunshot injury. The purpose of the study was to establish objective and scientifically based criteria for determining the type of obstacle from the surface of which a projectile ricocheted when fired from smoothbore weapons. To achieve this goal, a ballistic experiment was carried out on the specified type of behind-the-barrier gunshot injury, a comprehensive medical and forensic study of the results. Binary logistic regression models have been developed that make it possible to carry out a probabilistic prediction of the type of barrier (ordinary clay brick of grade 100, concrete of grade M350 of grade V25, steel of grade St45), from the surface of which a bullet or buckshot ricocheted. Established patterns can be used in court. To achieve this goal, a ballistic experiment was carried out on the specified type of altarpiece gunshot injury, a comprehensive medical and forensic study of the results. Binary logistic regression models have been developed that make it possible to carry out a probabilistic prediction of the type of barrier (ordinary clay brick of grade 100, concrete of grade M350 of grade V25, steel of grade St45), from the surface of which a bullet or buckshot ricocheted. Established patterns can be used in forensic medical practice to form an objective and scientific basis for determining the conditions for the formation of gunshot injury.
