The nature and severity of a bullet wound depend on the characteristics of the bullet and of the tissues through which it travels. In addition to the mass and velocity of the bullet, its orientation and whether it fragments or deforms affect the nature of the wound. Two major mechanisms of wounding are described: crushing and stretching of tissue. Understanding the mechanisms by which bullets disrupt tissue can help physicians to evaluate and treat wounds.
枪伤的性质和严重程度取决于子弹的特性以及子弹穿过的组织的特性。除了子弹的质量和速度外，其方向以及是否破碎或变形也会影响伤口的性质。文中描述了两种主要的致伤机制：组织挤压和拉伸。了解子弹破坏组织的机制有助于医生评估和治疗伤口。
