Criterias for the differentiation between hunting accidents and suicides are explained and discussed. A thorough investigation of this kind should always include autopsy, examination of the firearm, determination of the shooting distance and examination of the scene including an effort to reconstruct the events. Typical findings in suicides are contact shots, entrance wounds of the head, chest or upper abdomen, downward trajectories and evidence (gunshot residue, backspatter) suggesting a hand had been used to steady the muzzle. Typical findings in hunting accidents are entrance wounds of the extremities, the lower abdomen or the back, worn out or defective safety devices, upward trajectories and trajectories that are incompatible with possible and intended positions of the firearm. Each case has to be examined individually and the findings should be interpreted as an entity.
阐述并讨论了区分狩猎事故和自杀的标准。此类全面调查应始终包括尸检、枪支检查、射击距离测定以及对现场的勘查，包括努力重建事件经过。自杀的典型发现包括接触性枪伤、头部、胸部或上腹部的入口伤口、向下的弹道以及表明曾用手稳住枪口的证据（枪火残留、反向喷溅）。狩猎事故的典型发现包括四肢、下腹部或背部的入口伤口、磨损或有缺陷的安全装置、向上的弹道以及与枪支可能和预期位置不相符的弹道。每个案例都必须单独审查，且各项发现应作为一个整体来解读。
