TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Air rifle breech injuries to digits: a preventable hazard JO - Archives of emergency medicine A1 - Gray, Andrew SP - 193 EP - 195 VL - 4 IS - 3 N2 - The obvious injuries attributable to air rifles, namely those caused by pellets, are common and well documented (Batch, 1981; Reid, 1974; Rawson, 1965; Hutchinson, 1981). The author has encountered a series of injuries from air rifles involving a different mechanism. These commonly involve the digits, often in young people, and require considerable hospital time and resources in their treatment. They are essentially preventable.
