It examines factors such as how fast the bullet travels, its size and shape, and the tissue it encounters. These elements influence the extent and type of damage, including both the immediate tissue destruction and the body's response. Understanding wound ballistics helps in designing better protection, medical treatment, and for forensic analysis of Gunshot wounds by predicting injury patterns based on the projectile's characteristics.
