Entrance and Exit Wounds of High Velocity Bullet: an Autopsy Analysis in the Event of Dispersing the Mass Rally in Bangkok Thailand, May 2010

High velocity bullets (HVBs) or military bullets are primarily used on battlefields. Those who are endangered by HVBs are mostly military armed forces personnel engaged in a firefight and are likely to be severely injured leading to sudden death. And in the case of injury, they are likely to be seriously wounded with a high mortality rate. The physicians who take care of these cases first concentrate on emergency treatment, which might fail or, at least, to partly fail, to fully record the wound morphology or wound characteristics; especially the entrance and exit wounds.
