[Neck shot suicide from TOUA-307 construction and installation gun]. / Samoubiistvo putem vystrela v sheyu iz stroitel'no-montazhnogo pistoleta TOUA-307.

Construction and assembly pistols are widely used but single observations are described in the forensic medical literature and, as a rule, concerning shots to the head. An unusual case of suicide by a shot in the neck from a TOUA 307 construction and assembly pistol is presented: a blind shell wound was found to the left half of the neck and with damage to the cervical spine and spinal cord. The above observation complements the existing ideas about the possibility of causing self-harm from an atypical weapon - a construction and assembly pistol.
