SANTIN-AMO, J.M. et al. Intracranial injury caused by captive bolt gun. Neurocirugía [online]. 2010, vol.21, n.6, pp.491-495. ISSN 1130-1473.
Guns bullet or captive bolt is used as a weapon for stunning animals as a prelude to sacrifice. Placed in front of it induce an immediate loss of consciousness, thus achieving a "humanization" of process. It's use for suicide is rare, almost exclusively of people who have access to them because of their occupation, causing severe injuries to the brain. We analyse three cases presented in our service. One of them dies as a result of injuries.
