This study was undertaken to investigate the impact of several shooting distances of cal.177 (4,5 mm) air rifle toward the anatomical pathology changes of gunshot wound (ballistic wound). This observational study, used two domestic dogs (Non SPF) obtained from a local dog breeder. The shooting distance were devided into 2 (two) different range at 0 cm as contact range and 500 cm as distant shooting range, respectively. Anesthesia was performed to the dogs prior to shooting. The use of experimental animals was approved by the ethics committee (Animal Care and Use Comittee) Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universitas Airlangga. It is parameters are the depth of gunshot wound and spesific lessions at entry and exit wound. Forensic Photomacrography and x-ray was performed to observe spesific lessions at gunshot wound. This study revealed that every gunshot wound at contact and distant shooting has pathognomonic lession. The average depth of gunshot wounds in the extremities at the contact shooting distance is 57.5 mm and 55.5 mm at distant shooting Keywords Veterinary forensic, Air rifle, Cal.177 Pellets, Shooting distance, gunshot wound, forensic photomacrography
