The County Medical Examiners - A Brief Discourse Of Wound Ballistics

Terminal wound ballistics: the science of flesh-colliding projectiles
Gaping buckshot cavities disgorge chewed tissue gurgitations
Hydrostatic displacement frees milky intestinal chyle
My forensic team probes for splintered bullet fragmentations

Hollow point horrors with mushrooming penetration
Entrance and exit wounds are matched during post mortem examination
Propellant-tattooed wound sites paint blood-spattered stories
Portraits in zigzagging bullet trajectories

Scorched carbonaceous holes yield range estimation clues
Bullet paths plotted with metal dowels and radiographs
Full-jacketed slugs ricochet and birth deliquescent steaming stews
Recovered rounds are collected by my alacritous staff
