TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Tandem bullets: case report and ballistic analysis JO - Egyptian journal of forensic sciences A1 - Passalacqua, Pierluigi A1 - Pallocci, Margherita A1 - De Luca, Lucilla A1 - Zanovello, Claudia A1 - Sacchetti, Giulio A1 - Treglia, Michele SP - 40 EP - 40 VL - 12 IS - 1 N2 - In forensic ballistics, the phenomenon of tandem bullets occurs when two or more bullets are ejected from the barrel of a firearm in a single shot. The injuries caused by these bullets have been described in the literature and include several possibilities, whose severity seems to be especially related to the mass increase of the exploded cartridges and to the distance at which the shots are fired, as a result of the sudden drop in kinetic energy that occurs.
