| Gunshot victims per incident | Wounds per gunshot victim | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Victims/wounds | Pistol cases (n=95 incidents) | Revolver cases (n=40 incidents) | Pistol cases* (n=107 victims) | Revolver cases (n=40 victims) |

| †Gunshot victims per incident differed significantly for pistol and revolver cases (t statistic = 3.29, p<0.01). Wounds per gunshot victim did not differ significantly for pistol and revolver cases (t statistic = −0.28, p>0.05). T statistics were calculated using the formula for populations having unequal variances. | ||||
