Summary/Abstract: In the practice of forensic and forensic-ballistic expert inspection gunshot wounds caused by destructive elements that are used for illegal independent ammunition for rifled weapons are often the objects of research. Based on a specific example of this method, a bullet of 7.62 × 39 caliber of a 7.62 × 54R sports-hunting cartridge was used to determine the bullet characteristics of bullets and investigate their damaging properties. In the course of experiments, the features of the formation of the canal of gunshot damage in a simulator of biological tissues were established. As a non-biological imitator, ballistic plasticine was used, certified for conducting studies in wound ballistics. Due to its use, the variability of the nature of the resulting through damage was established, due to the ambiguous behavior of the bullets when moving in a viscoelastic medium. Based on the results of experimental studies, the parameters necessary for calculating the depth of penetration of the investigated bullets into the tissue of the biological object were determined, depending on their speed on the trajectory.
