Abstract
The differences in the soot pattern were more distinct at the firing distance of 10Â cm. By increasing the distance from 10 to 15Â cm, the intensity of soot diminished and began to disappear at 25Â cm, but remained more visible in the case of the TT. The gunpowder particles could be found in the epidermis and deeper in both layers of the dermis at all distances fired from the TT and the Glock 19. In the case of firings from the PM, at the distance 10Â cm some of the gunpowder particles had penetrated into the dermis and most of them were in the upper layer of the dermis. At the firing distance of 15 and 25Â cm, the gunpowder particles were only on and in the stratum corneum.
