Backspatter Phenomenon

A bloodstain pattern resulting from blood drops that travel in the opposite direction of the external force applied, associated with an entrance wound created by a projectile.

Description

[SWGSTAIN Atlas of BPA Patterns and Terminology, 2012]:

- Size: Diameter < 1mm up to several mm

- Shape: Circular to elliptical

- Distribution: May radiate outward from area of origin

- Miscellaneous: Generally less abundant than forward spatter - Intervening objects such as hair and clothing will affect the amount of back spatter present. - Amount and distribution dependent upon specific weapon used and wound location

Phenomena involved

Martin Fackler, 1992:

Boyd G. Stephens, Terence B. Allen, 1983:

"collapse of the temporary wound cavity as the probable source of most gunshot spatter, both forward or back"

"blow back effect produced by discharge of a large volume of gas in a confined space (...) The acceleration force is the backwards stream of escaping gas trapped between the elastic skin and rigid skull"

Bernd Karger & al, 1996-1997:

James O. Pex, Charles H. Vaughan, 1987:

"blow out of the skin. (...). In a minority of gunshots to the head, secondary backspatter follows primary backspatter after a short interval when a swell of blood from the wound impacts on the floor.

Backspatter of blood is produced by the subcutaneous gas pressure and additionally by intracranial overpressure and tail spalshing"

"result of kinetic energy transfer from the hot gases entering the wound after the projectile and expanding the surrounding tissues"
