The shape of wound tracts after injury by projectiles with velocities near 3000 m/s (a) or 4000 m/s (b). Hemorrhage in the cortex of the brain (c, d hematoxylin and eosin ×20.), microvessel ruptured in the thalamus (e, hematoxylin and eosin ×40). Liver in the vicinity of the surface was fragmented and bleeding (f, hematoxylin and eosin ×20). Subcortical glomeruli were highly congested and many red blood cells leaked into the tubular spaces (g, hematoxylin and eosin ×20). Hemorrhage was observed 7 cm from the surface of the wound tract (h, hematoxylin and eosin ×40)
