Wound ballistics is the study of the effects of projectile weapons on living tissue, crucial for understanding trauma in forensic and medical contexts. It involves analyzing the interaction between the projectile, the biological target, and the resultant wound characteristics to improve medical treatment and forensic investigation.

A biological target is a molecule in the body, such as a protein or nucleic acid, that is intrinsically associated with a specific biological process and can be modulated by a drug to produce a desired therapeutic effect. Identifying and validating these targets is crucial in drug discovery and development, as they provide a pathway for intervention in disease mechanisms.
