The neuropathological changes produced by a captive bolt pistol are described. The primary wound track in the brain was similar to that inflicted by a weapon such as a .22 calibre rifle. However neural and vascular damage at a distance from the primary wound canal was much less severe and widespread after penetration of the low velocity captive bolt projectile due to the formation of a smaller temporary wound cavity by radial forces imparted to the parenchyma. These findings suggest that the use of a captive bolt pistol for euthanasia should be immediately followed by further actions to ensure that an animal is rendered permanently unconscious.
描述了由栓式击昏枪造成的神经病理学变化。大脑中的原发性伤口轨迹与诸如.22口径步枪之类的武器造成的伤口轨迹相似。然而，由于低速栓式击昏枪发射的射弹传递给实质组织的径向力形成较小的暂时性伤口腔，在距原发性伤口通道一定距离处的神经和血管损伤要轻得多且范围小得多。这些发现表明，使用栓式击昏枪实施安乐死后应立即采取进一步行动，以确保动物永久失去意识。
