  • Title: [2 suicides with self-fabricated gunshot devices: technical forensic and morphologic ballistic characteristics].
    Author: Karger B, Teige K, Brinkmann B.
    Journal: Arch Kriminol; 1995; 195(5-6):147-52. PubMed ID: 7646222.
    Abstract:
    Two suicides with home-made guns firing conventional ammunition are reported. Three different classes of homemade guns can be distinguished. Special characteristics of the interior and exterior ballistics of the home-made guns caused unusual muzzle imprints, intensive soot deposits at the entrance wounds and on the hands, intensive CO-effects, burns and in one case a skin laceration of the hand holding the weapon. The bullets showed a reduced penetration depth, characteristic firing marks were missing.
