    EPIGRAPH: In contact wounds, the muzzle of the weapon is held against the surface of the body… the immediate edges of the entrance are seared by hot gases and blackened by the soot. This is embedded in the seared skin and cannot be completely removed either by washing or vigorous scrubbing of the wound.
