Summary: | The aim of this study is to analyze the injury potential of the free-falling bullet in the cranium, which is known as a tired bullet in the public, with the finite element method (FEM) In the study, as penetrant 9 × 19 mm FMJ bullets with vertical falling angle, adult human skull and brain tissue were discussed. The results of the analysis with the Finite element method, which is similar to the cases reported before, revealed that free-falling bullets as a result of shooting into the air can cause fatal injuries.
•One of the most deadly injuries caused via celebration or shooting into the air was investigated.•Behavior tired bullets which are quite lethal to people, especially when they hit the head area were analyzed.•A simulational procedure was proposed alternatively to very limited Experimental opportunities in this area.•Unlike Reported cases that generally examined post-injury, all processes were scrutinized.•Injury potential and injury process of free-falling bullet were aimed to be more understandable via FEM analyze. |
