Investigation of Blank Cartridge Gun Harming Potential in Target Range of 0-5 cm

Öz:

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı; toplumda zararsız olarak bilinen kuru sıkı silahların organik bir hedefe yapılan atışlar ile meydana getirebileceği yaralanma potansiyelinin deneysel olarak gösterilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Doku simulantı olarak tavuk eti but bölümü hedef olarak belirlenmiş ve iki farklı yapıda kuru sıkı tabanca ile 0-5 cm mesafeden atışlar yapılmıştır. Bulgular ölçülerek, fotoğraflanmış ve dijital ortamda kayıt edilmiştir.Kuru sıkı tabanca ile tavuk etine yapılan bitişik atış sonucu tam kat doku penetrasyonu ve kemik dokusunda tam kat kırık saptanmıştır. Ancak hedefte, atış mesafesi ile oluşan isin çapı ve doku hasarı ölçümleri bakımından korelasyon tespit edilememiştir. Elde ettiğimiz sonuçlarda anlamlı korelasyon olmamasında; hava koşulları, rüzgâr, ortam sıcaklığı, kuru sıkı tabancaların konvansiyonel silahlar kadar verimli düzeneklerinin olmaması gibi sebeplerin etkili olabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.Bulgular ve Sonuç: Elde ettiğimiz sonuçlar ve konu ile ilgili literatürdeki çalışmalar, kuru sıkı silahların insan bedeninde yaralanmalara sebep olabileceğini açıkça ortaya koymaktadır. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ve 5 cm atış mesafesi ile hasar ve is çapı arasında anlamlı korelasyon tespit edilmedi. Başka bir bilimsel çalışmada, farklı yakın atış mesafeleri ile hasar ve is çapı arasında korelasyon olup olmadığı değerlendirilebilir.

Kuru Sıkı Silahların Hedefe 0-5 cm Mesafeden Yaralama Potansiyelinin İncelenmesi

Öz:

Objective: The aim of our study is to show through experiments harming potential of blank firing guns, which are known to be harmless mistakenly. Materials and Methods: Two different types of blank firing guns were utilized to shot at chicken leg as a tissue simulant; at a distance of 0-5 cm. Results of the experiments were photographed and recorded in a digital platform.Contact shot at chicken leg caused full-thickness bone fracture and full-thickness tissue penetration. In contrast, correlation was not detected between dimensions of smoothing and tissue damage on the target. We think that the causes of results that have no correlation, as weather conditions, wind, temperature, defiency of blank cartridge guns.Results and Conclusion: The results we had, studies and case reports about this subject in literature exhibit obviously harming potential of blank firing guns for human body. No significant correlation was determined between damage, diameter of soot and shot range in 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 cm. A new research about the correlation between damage, diameter of soot and different close range of shot can be performed in another study.
