Comparison of depth of incomplete penetration for different types of pellets for shooting weapon of category D

Abstract

Nowadays, shooting weapons are widely used and highly demanded not only by the state armed forces but also for other civilians who are buying firearms for sport purposes or their own protection. These include category D shooting weapons which can be owned, held, carried and used without a gun license in the Czech Republic by people older than 18 years. Even these shooting weapons are able to cause serious injuries. Therefore, this research paper describes one specifically chosen shooting weapon of category D and compares the depth of incomplete penetration for different types of ammunition. For our purpose, the airgun model TEX 086 was selected because air guns are widely used in the Czech Republic. This was tested on alternative ballistic material. © 2017 IEEE.
