The ideal animal model of abdominal firearm injury is essential for conducting research on the war injury rescue techniques, the training in injury control surgery, and the trauma ballistics research. But so far, there is no standardized animal model that can realistically simulate abdominal firearm injuries in domestic and foreign research. This article reviews the common animal models of abdominal firearm injury from the aspects of injury weapons, experimental animals and modeling purposes, and expounds the advantages and disadvantages of each model, in order to provide reference for the research on abdominal firearm injury.
