摘要
The deviation of bullets passing through window pane glass of a thickness of 6 mm was investigated for varying angles of incidence. Projectiles of calibre 0.22 and 0.38 (wadcutter) were used. The 0.22 bullets break into multiple pieces. resulting in a large distribution of exit angles. An increasing deviation of 0.38 wadcutter projectiles was seen for increasing angles of incidence, For incident angles larger than 35degrees, an unexpected ricochet was noticed. This phenomenon is of importance when examining crime scenes. A number of parameters which have to be taken into account for further experiments is suggested. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
