Abstract
The author points out that when shots are fired at a long distance, the bullet, having traveled a long distance, loses its centrifugal force and acts only percussively, more slowly passing through the thickness of tissues and injuring them much more than when fired at close range, so that a traumatic ring is formed in the circumference of the entrance wound.
