Cartridge

Cartridge casings can be found a various types of crime scenes. These cartridge casings are then examined to answer questions such as, what was the caliber of the firearm (i.e. 9mm, .308 Winchester), composition of the ammunition (i.e. brass, steel), shape (i.e. rimless, rimmed), the position of the shooter, etc. Individual characteristics on cartridge casings that are useful in forensic investigations include firing pin impressions, breech face marks, ejector marks, and extractor marks. The various

bullets, cartridges, a weapon, or any combination of the above found at a crime scene. With the evidence, a crime laboratory will explore for clues on some things that might cause a suspect or possible to prove that the things were used in the crime. By contrast, the markings on the bullets or cartridges found at the scene with those discharged from the suspect’s weapon, a ballistics expert will typically confirm if the rounds came from a similar weapon. Just the act of cycling a cartridge through

provide a rather versatile platform to launch Col. Jeff Cooper’s snappy and resurgent round. If anything, it gives 10mm fans a carry and competition option if they have a yen for cylinders over magazines. This isn’t the first semi-automatic pistol cartridge Ruger has moon

There is an estimated 300 million registered gun owners in the United States. With that many Americans owning guns, its not a surprise nearly 68% of all homicides reported to the FBI involved firearms. It’s a good thing the forensics of firearms has advanced to a point that with just a single round recovered, ballistic experts can tell investigators, what caliber round was fired what type of weapon fired the round, and in some cases the distance at which the round was fired. Without such advancement

Firearms evidence is a key to capturing a shooter. Firearms evidence can be found at different types of crime scenes; from homicide to rape. Forensic technicians can determine the distance of a shot based on power residue, they can compare cartridge cases and bullets to particular guns possibly used at the crime scene and link them to owners, forensic technicians can also determine the sequence of shots fired and trajectories. Gunshot residue found at a crime scene can be matched with that found

victim was sent to the hospital where she was declared brought dead. The FIR was dodged in the near police station. The police took the statement of the eye witnesses and prepared the list of invited guests. During investigating the crime scene two cartridges shells were found and the bullet was also recovered from the roof and sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory for the examination. The police started searching for the accused. On the same day, at

Reloading is the practice of installing new primers, bullets and powder in previously fired ammunition cases. The basic procedure of reloading is reletively simple, although powder and case measurements can get fairly technical. There are a variety of ways to reload and a variety of tools and equipment to do so with, in this report, I will cover the basic procedure of reloading with the equipment that I use. The first step in the reloading procces is to clean the cases. This task can be accomplished

said for the bullets cartridge. You can identify what firearm was used just from the cartridge itself. When you load a cartridge into a firearm you will leave distinctive marks that can be identified. The cartridge doesn’t necessarily have to be fired in order for certain identifiable marks to transfer therefore, they will exists the moment the cartridge is put into the firearm. The typical cartridge case is made out of brass. Plastic and steel are also materials that cartridge cases have been known

Trace evidence can be used to link people or objects to places, other people, or other objects. This often serves as a starting point, or lead, for a particular line of investigation (Lothridge, 2016). Trace evidence can include a wide variety of materials, but most commonly tested are hair, fibers, paint and glass. Other, less frequently included items are soil, cosmetics and fire debris (Lothridge, 2016). Dr. Edmond Locard formulated the theory that "Every contact leaves a trace". This became known
