Popis:	Gunshot wounds (GSWs) are an important cause of disability and death in the USA. Although radiography is limited in its ability to detect bullet types, a projectile introduced during the last decade, the R.I.P. bullet by G2 Research, consists of a base slug connected to 6 to 8 sharp trocars designed to diverge within soft tissue following impact, resulting in what we believe to be a unique imaging appearance that can be confusing to those not familiar with this particular projectile. Furthermore, this bullet is 100% copper, which may allow for safe imaging with magnetic resonance imaging if correctly identified prior to scanning.
