Abstract

Abstract Background Ballistics deals with the study of projectile propulsion, flight, and impact in any medium. Different garment materials can have varying effects when it comes to the penetration of pellets into the body. Body armor has been around for a long time. Dhal, a curving strip of rhino hide, was possibly the first armor in India, used for sword fighting or defense against arrows and spears. It gave way to steel armor, which protected the body’s essential organs from spear and arrow strikes. The current study is primarily concerned with how jeans material, when employed as body armor, contributes to the inquiry. The present study also examines how airgun pellets fired at various ranges affect jeans clothing wrapped around gel blocks. Results The study concluded that when fired at varied ranges, there was no significant variation in the diameters of the entry holes on clothing material. The gel block covered with jeans clothing was not found to be more damaged. Conclusions The findings also indicate that pellets had larger track lengths regardless of the range from which they were fired.
弹道式装甲——气枪弹丸对牛仔布的冲击研究
背景弹道是研究弹丸在任何介质中的推进、飞行和撞击的学科。不同的服装材料会对颗粒进入人体产生不同的影响。防弹衣已经存在很长时间了。达哈尔是一种弯曲的犀牛皮,可能是印度最早的盔甲,用于剑战或防御箭和矛。它让位于钢甲,保护身体的重要器官免受矛和箭的攻击。目前的研究主要关注的是,当牛仔裤的材料被用作防弹衣时,它是如何有助于调查的。本研究还研究了在不同距离发射的气枪子弹如何影响包裹在凝胶块上的牛仔裤。结果在不同的射击距离下,服装材料的入孔直径没有显著变化。被牛仔裤覆盖的凝胶块并没有受到更大的破坏。研究结果还表明,无论从哪个距离发射,弹丸都具有更大的轨迹长度。
