TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Possibilities of energy augmentation of pellets shot from ASG replicas and gunshot wounds JO - Archiwum Medycyny Sadowej i Kryminologii A1 - Kawecki, Jerzy A1 - Thannhäuser, Agata A1 - Jurek, Tomasz A1 - Golema, Wojciech A1 - Trnka, Jakub SP - 313 EP - 318 VL - 61 IS - 4 N2 - In this paper, the authors review the types of air soft gun replicas depending on the type of drive and ammunition, showing the possibilities of altering the M4A1 rifle replica's technical parameters and the effect of such modifications on initial energy of the projectile. A PJ4 CQB NAVY replica's inner barrel, spring, motor and cylinder kit were replaced. Subsequently, the muzzle velocity was determined and compared to the initial muzzle velocity. This example showed that amateur modifications can greatly increase the initial energy of the pellet. The authors suggest that especially in terms of determining the exposure to direct danger of death or grave detriment to health, the manufacturer's data about pellet energy should not be taken without question, but one should strive for an individual assessment of the ASG replica constituting the evidence.
