摘要：

Gunshot wounds are a common occurrence today in both military and civilian situations. This paper discusses the development of the weapons, their capabilities, the type of wounds produced and their management in earlier times. A brief comparison is made with the wounds produced by modern firearms. It may be concluded that the earlier wounds were simpler due to the lower velocity of the projectile and therefore a more conservative approach to treatment was acceptable.
