Misconceptions in Firearms Injuries 137
The bullet after hitting the bone may bounce back through
the same hole 137
If the wound of entrance is higher on the body as compared to the
wound of exit, then the position of the assailant was at
a higher level than the victim 137
Of the two wounds, communicating with each other, the wound of
entrance is always smaller than the wound of exit 138
The bullet travels in straight line from the wound of
entrance to the wound of exit 138

it will burn the body tissues on impact at close range 138

spin rate essentially drills its way into the target 138
