For Immediate Release January 2, 2018 Brenneke Introduces

Brenneke of America, L.P. PO Box 1481 • Clinton, IA 52733-1481 800/753-9733 • fax 563/244-7421 www.brennekeusa.com e-mail: [email protected] For immediate release January 2, 2018 Brenneke introduces shocking new TOPAS® 12-gauge sabot slug “A shockingly different shotgun sabot” is how Brenneke® describes its new TOPAS® 12-gauge, 2 3/4 inch saboted slug. It is shockingly reasonable in price, comparable to mass-produced Foster-type slugs, but much higher in quality and offering superior performance. Unlike most sabots that trade power for accuracy, the massive frontal area of the TOPAS®—equal to a 16-gauge slug—delivers a substantial shock to a game animal. It leaves the muzzle packing 1919 ft. lbs. of energy at 1673 feet per second. It is still traveling at 1109 fps at 100 yards, delivering 843 ft. lbs. of energy; enough to stop any deer. The 2/3 ounce TOPAS® slug has a flat trajectory, and accuracy is outstanding. It is capable of two-inch, five-shot groups at 40 yards, and is suitable for use in rifled or smoothbore shotgun barrels having any choke. The name “TOPAS” is an acronym for “Top Accuracy and Speed.” It is pronounced like, and shares its color with, the topaz semi-precious stone. It also gives a nod to the 1969 espionage movie of the same name, directed by Alfred Hitchcock—known for his shocking endings. The TOPAS® is designed for hunters wishing to reliably stop deer-size game at reasonable distances without spending a fortune on ammunition. Wilhelm Brenneke invented the modern shotgun slug in Germany in 1898, and his descendants carry on his insistence on accuracy, performance, and ethical, humane hunting practices in the company he founded.

A Basic Firearm Tutorial by John Kraemer, F-ABMDI April 2009
A Basic Firearm Tutorial By John Kraemer, F-ABMDI April 2009 Statistics for Firearm-Related Deaths According to a 2005 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were almost 31, 000 firearm‐related deaths within the United States. Of the 31, 000 deaths, 55% of those deaths were certified as suicides, 40% certified as homicides, 3% certified as accidents, and the remaining 2% were certified as undetermined. A previous study by the CDC covering the years 1993 to 1998 also found that most firearm‐related deaths were again caused by self‐inflicted acts and men and individuals between the ages of 15 and 34 comprised a majority of those firearm‐related deaths. Every medical examiner or coroner’s office across the country has investigated a firearm‐ related death. Depending on your jurisdiction, these types of deaths may comprise a large portion of your caseload or a small portion. Regardless of the number of firearm‐related deaths your office investigates, every medicolegal death investigator must be knowledgeable in the safe handling of firearms, basic ballistics terminology and the parts of a particular firearm, whether it be a semi‐automatic handgun, revolver, shotgun or rifle. General Safety Practices The safe approach to and subsequent handling of firearms is your personal responsibility. Safety is the number one priority when handling such weapons. At any death scene involving a firearm, the death investigator MUST ALWAYS ASSUME THE FIREARM IS LOADED! Most accidental discharges of a firearm are the result of not following safe gun handling practices and failure to use common sense.

Orientation Booklet
Martin County Sportsmen’s Association New Member Orientation Range Booklet Contained in the following pages of this orientation are a collection of safety rules that when applied and exercised mitigates the possibility of any negligent discharges that could cause injury, destruction to property or worse. The purpose of the MCSA range safety rules is to promote safe and responsible gun handling and target shooting. Safety is the primary responsibility of every member using the range. Surrounding our range we have commercial businesses, structures and homes, therefore we cannot allow rounds from leaving the premises (depending on the cartridge, caliber and slope a bullet can travel 2.5 – 4+ miles). Hence, we are here today to learn how we must conduct ourselves while at the range and on the firing line to ensure safe gun handling and shooting. MCSA is operated on the “COLD RANGE” principle. All firearms must be unloaded and transported in a case around the range property and between ranges (No Uncased Slung Rifles). Your firearm can only be uncased at the firing line when the range is HOT. Your firearm may only be loaded or unloaded on a HOT range at the Firing Line. Carrying a concealed weapon is not allowed on MCSA property. If you have a Concealed Carry firearm and plan on shooting it at the range you must unload and place it in a carrying case before entering the property. Once on a range at the firing line you can remove your concealed carry firearm from your case, load and shoot. All members must adhere to these 3 Safety Rules + 1 at All Times.

An Unusual Hunting-Related Death Due to a Brenneke® Supersabot Shotgun Slug
Rom J Leg Med [22] 237-242 [2014] DOI: 10.4323/rjlm.2014.237 © 2014 Romanian Society of Legal Medicine An unusual hunting-related death due to a Brenneke® SuperSabot shotgun slug Lorenzo Gitto1,*, Aniello Maiese1, Massimiliano Dell’Aquila1, Pietro Falco2, Giorgio Bolino1 _________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: Hunting accidents are a underestimate cause of injuries and death. Brenneke® slugs are the most common used shotgun ammunitions in hunting. A particular type of Brenneke® slug is the SuperSabot, characterized by high speed, high energy and very good precision. Deaths due to a Brenneke® SuperSabot are rarely described in literature. Three hunters were carrying out a wild boar hunting expedition. During the hunting a wild boar suddenly appeared in the middle of the group. The hunter who was behind the group instinctively fired to the beast using a semiautomatic gauge 12 shotgun. The bullet hit the wild boar, made a through-through wound and then hit the hunter who was just ahead the animal, killing him. At the external examination of the beast, an entry wound and an exit wound were found. At the postmortem examination of the hunter, an entry wound, a perforating wound and even an exit wound were identified. After a thorough research, a spent shell wad and a live slug were found, later identified as Brenneke® SuperSabot shotgun slugs. This case highlights the importance of thorough scene investigation and postmortem examination to identify all of weapons and projectiles used, in order to distinguish among homicide, suicide and accident. Key Words: forensic science, shotgun slug, Brenneke® SuperSabot, shotgun wounds, hunting accidents.

Homicide by a Rifled Shotgun Slug: Unconventional Ballistics
Rom J Leg Med [19] 101-106 [2011] DOI: 10.4323/rjlm.2011.101 © 2011 Romanian Society of Legal Medicine Homicide by a rifled shotgun slug: unconventional ballistics Luv Sharma1*, P.K. Paliwal2 _________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: Two types of firearms are well known- Rifled and smoothbore. The shotgun is conventionally loaded with shot. Shot is a collective term for small balls of lead used primarily as projectiles in shotguns. Ammunition for shotguns in the USA is shotgun shells, shotshells, or just shells; cartridge is standard usage in the United Kingdom and India. Ballistic expertise in India of the world usually bases on the rigid idiom that pellets emerge from a shotgun while bullets and the like are fired from rifled weapons. Anything not conforming to this reasoning is treated and termed as ‘bizarre’. Homicide by shotgun slugs in India has not been reported extensively, though the incidence may be more than expected. This case highlights the fact that ammunition in the stricter sense may not be ‘pathognomic for a type of firearm and the crime solving agencies must re-educate themselves on this aspect. Key Words: firearms, smooth bore, rifled shotgun is a firearm that is usually designed to be fired from the shoulder, which uses A the energy of a fixed shell to fire a number of small spherical pellets called shot, or a solid projectile called a slug. The usual ammunition as mentioned in texts and routinely encountered by Forensic experts is the traditional smoothbore weapon firing pellets from a cartridge. In India, no standard textbook of Forensic Medicine describes the possibility of a ‘rifled shotgun’ in detail.
