The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.

About the X95 Code Range
These codes describe assaults involving the discharge of a firearm or a gas, air, or spring-operated gun.
X95.0 groups gas, air, and spring-operated guns. Its subdivisions distinguish airgun discharge, paintball gun discharge, and other guns in that group. X95.8 identifies other firearm discharge, while X95.9 identifies unspecified firearm discharge.
The final character distinguishes an initial encounter (A), a subsequent encounter (D), or a sequela (S), meaning a lasting effect.
