The deceleration of a spherical projectile passing through porcine organs at laboratory temperature (16 °C) and core body temperature (37 °C)

- Physical properties of porcine tissues alter with temperature.
- Deceleration of spherical projectile is least in lungs.
- No significant differences in organs conditioned to room or core body temperature.
- Physical properties of tissues not significant to alter deceleration of high velocity projectile.
- Tissues used in ballistics experiments do not require reheating to core body temperature.
