Country made scare gun also called as bandook in the vernacular language designed with an intention of scaring away the menacing animals is not only unique and effective but also potentially lethal and has found wide spread usage in the rural parts of India. Here an attempt has been made to study the characteristic features such as physical dimensions, mechanism of action of this weapon and to compare its penetrating ability with that of air gun, whose potential lethality is a well-documented fact, using the ballistic gelatine blocks at various ranges. It is hoped that keeping the existence of such firearms in mind by the forensic experts might help to solve the unexplained and bizarre firearm injuries encountered in day to day practice.
国产土枪，也被方言称为“班卓”，设计初衷是为了吓跑威胁性的动物，不仅独特有效，而且具有潜在的致命性，并在印度农村地区得到广泛应用。在这里，我们试图研究这种武器的物理尺寸、作用机制等特征，并使用不同距离的弹道凝胶块来比较其穿透能力与空气枪的穿透能力，空气枪的潜在致命性是有据可查的事实。希望法医专家能记住这类枪支的存在，这有助于解决日常实践中遇到的那些无法解释和离奇的枪支伤害案件。
