Airsoft electric gun evaluation on Brown Treesnakes, Guam, 2016

Description

The data set consists of 2 spreadsheets from Airsoft Electric Gun (AEG) trials on brown treesnakes. AEG snake wound data contains AEG results from guns equipped with 0.39 gram ammunition (plastic pellets ) that were fired at dead and live snakes from distances of 4, 8, and 12 m to measure tissue-penetration depth, and noted if (a) the pellet was lodged inside the peritoneal cavity, (b) the pellet had completely passed through and left the body, (c) the pellet appeared to have damaged the vertebral column, (d) ribs were broken, and (e) any internal organs appeared to be damaged. AEG live snake ballistic data contains information on limited AEG trials with live snakes shot at distances of 4, 8, and 12 m and their behavioral responses when hit with 0.39 gram ammunition.
