| Abstract: | Cleaning a firearm can be a hazardous task even when the gun is not loaded. This is the first reported case of hand injury from the barrel bore cleaning brush. Early surgical exploration and washout of the wound is required as it often heavily contaminated with rust and grime. The cleaning agents used are also highly corrosive to tissue. |
