[Peculiarities of expert assessment of a wound inflicted by a self-made projectile--a harpoon with the archery broadhead].

An attempt was undertaken to elucidate the concrete mechanism of wound infliction by a self-made projectile, such as a harpoon with the archery broadhead, based on the entire volume of evidence provided by the inquest. The results thus obtained allowed the potential for differential diagnostics of clothes and body damages caused by arrow-headed projectiles to be extended.
