Injuries Related to Nonpowder Firearms: A National Database Study

Special attention should be given to preventing facial injuries, particularly among teenagers, by enforcing safety measures and using protective equipment.

Abstract

Despite operating at lower pressures than traditional firearms, NPFs still pose significant health risks, with technological advances increasing the potential for serious injuries, such as blindness or neurological deficits. Special attention should be given to preventing facial injuries, particularly among teenagers, by enforcing safety measures and using protective equipment.
