The authors describe the case of a suicide with a shotgun charged with 9 caliber Flobert cartridge, that, if shot at a distance, generally does not cause mortal wounds. In the case in re, on the contrary, the mortal gunshot had been discharged in contact with the roof of the mouth causing not particularly destroying cranium-encephalic wounds. Consequently, there is description of the features of the entrance wound and of intracorporeal path, which can simulate distance wounds caused by handguns charged with classic small caliber cartridges.
作者描述了一起使用装填9毫米弗洛伯特枪弹的猎枪自杀的案例，这种枪弹若在一定距离射击，通常不会造成致命伤。然而在该案例中，致命枪击是在口腔顶部近距离发射的，并未造成特别严重的颅脑损伤。因此，文中描述了入口伤口及体内弹道的特征，这些特征可能会被误认为是由装填传统小口径枪弹的手枪在一定距离造成的伤口。
