Ranivost perkusních pistolí při zákeřném útoku na měkké cíle

Abstract

This bachelor's thesis compares percussion weapons with modern ones in order to determine their woundness in an insidious attack on soft targets. The theoretical part of the bachelor's thesis is devoted to the history and development of percussion weapons, availability and assortment of percussion weapons, type classification of weapons according to law number 119/2002, also to their description and manipulation during shooting. Used weapons in the thesis are a percussion riding pistol, a percussion revolver, a small-caliber sports pistol and a 9 mm Luger pistol. The practical part focuses on determining the kinetic energy of weapons, penetration and compares their woundness using three selected criteria. The selected criteria are Knock Out, Stopping Power and Power Index Rating. Penetration is determined by the length of the wound track in the plasticine block.
