Ballistic Review Questions (pt.2)



11.The greater the speed the greater the energy in a projectile.
12.Many factors could affect the damage done to a body from a bullet,one of these factors being bullet fragmentation.When fragments of the bullet get stuck in your body,which can cause more issue and damage to your body.
13.Cavitation:the radial dispersion of energy created by a projectile.
14.The differences of Permanent and Temporary cavitation are pretty simple.Permanent cavitation being tissue crush and excavation and Temporary cavitation being the blast effect due to tissue stretch.
15.Fragmented bullets cause lots of damage to the tissue in skin, causing damage as soon as coming in contact with the tissue to solid and dense organs.
16.uhhh this is a google doc
17.Bullets to the abdomen have 10% mortality rate.
18.Bullets to the abdomen are highly susceptible to injury and hemorrhage.
19.Bullets to the head and neck are both very lethal but there are different impacts.A neck shot damaging trachea and blood vessels causing neurological problems.A head shot causing cavitational energy to be trapped in the skull which can cause very serious lethal bleeding.
20.The thorax is a very lethal part of the body to get shot in, any large wound compressing breathing.Causing extensive damage to the heart and great vessels in the body due to lack of fluid compression.

JFK video questions

JFK questions 

Kenzie 

1.)what I learned from today's video?

I learned a couple of things from today's video. One thing I learned today is its not that easy to track down shooting spot . The second thing I learned is it takes a lot of critical thinking and estimating to figure out what the weapon is and where it was shot

2) To reconstruct the assassination, they used ballistics gel and soap. Also 46  wood boards to analyze how the bullet supposedly traveled through the president and the governor. Also this was to prove if the bullet can travel trough two people and come out in perfect shape

 

3.) based on the information given in the video, my opinion is that their was one shooter, and shot a bullet that went through 2 people . But the only thing that is really has no proof of evidence is the autopsy. 

Ballistic Review Questions

Ballistics Review Questions

1.Ballistics is the science of mechanics that deals with the launching, flight, behavior, and effects of projectiles.
2.The difference between interior and exterior ballistics are pretty simple.Exterior ballistics is the study of projectiles in flight after the barrel & interior ballistics is the study of the projectiles within the firearm.
3.Terminal ballistics being the study of the projectiles interaction with a target & Wound ballistics the study of the terminals effect on a human or “target”.
4.The further the range of the shot the less energy to the projectile.
5.The position of how a firearm is fired affects many things, one being the terminal ballistics.How the gun is positioned affects where the bullet will hit and what it will do after getting its target.
6.It would be important to determine the sequence of shots because all bullets cause different amounts of damage and different wound ballistics.
7.Trajectory:The arched path that a bullet flows through flight.
Perforate:To pass all the way through a target.
Penetrate:To enter & stay into a target.
8.Factors that should be considered when shooting at a target are the 2 main forces acting on it, the forward force from gunpowder and downward force of gravity.
9.Dowels strings and lasers are used to find angles and a possible direct location of a shooter in a case.
10.The greater the mass of a projectile the greater the energy.

JFK Video Post Assignment

1. I learned that when you shot a bullet it can go through two people. I also learned that when a bullet is shot it can yaw which means it goes straight and then all of a sudden it starts to move and like tumble. I also learned that a gun called a Carcano has a full metal jacket and it also has a cylindrical shape, with straight sides and no taper or sharp point.
2. Some of the things they used to reconstruct the assassination was the pine board test, They shot a bullet to see how far it could go into the pine boards, this is one of the oldest ballistic tests around. Then to simulate human tissue they used ballistic gelatin and ballistic soap which both have the same density and resistance to penetration. When the gelatin is shot the bullet path opens and then collapses when the soap is shot it freezes the path of the bullet so you can see it. 
3. Based on science, I believe there was only one shooter and that the bullet went through both JFK and Governor Connally. I also don't believe that he was shot in the back of the head, how could someone be shot in the back of the head and then there head flies backwards it just doesn't make sense to me.
