  • Title: [Fatal gunshot wound injuries with so-called shooting ball-point pens].
    Author: Nadjem H, Pollak S, Schley K.
    Journal: Arch Kriminol; 1995; 195(3-4):95-102. PubMed ID: 7778972.
    Abstract:
    Report on two suicides using shooting ball-point pens (with .22 lr and .22 lr Hv cartridges respectively). Both cases were contact shots (in the first case in the area of the right ear, in the second case in the left temple). Corresponding to the configuration of the barrel end, the muzzle imprints were uncharacteristic (ring-shaped and narrow). The other morphological findings of the wounds did not differ from the injuries inflicted by conventional small-bore weapons.
