Firearm injuries are encountered commonly in modern medicine. It is very uncommon to see these injuries in children; they are generally a result of accidental discharge of the weapon. We report a case of accidental firearm injury in a 7 year old boy. This case highlights the darker side of the firearm industry, unregulated sale of these lethal weapons and their indiscriminate use in India.Keywords
