Abstract
Blank cartridge guns are prevalent especially in countries with laws restricting access to conventional firearms and it is a common misconception that these weapons are harmless and only used as toys or for intimidation. However, although their harming potential is well documented by numerous reports of accidents, suicides, and homicides, a systematic molecular biological investigation of traces generated by shots from blank cartridges at biological targets has not been done so far.
