Bullet Comparison and Analysis The firearms and tool marks division of most forensic science laboratories have several tasks they may have to perform on items of evidence that come to them; this ranges from testing functionality of a weapon, restoring serial numbers, finding and comparing marks left from different tools at a crime scene, and comparing and analyzing bullets and casings. To be able to perform a bullet comparison, one needs to be able to distinguish several base class characteristics

Introduction My personal interest in this subject comes from my career aspiration. As I intend to pursue a military career, the study of firearms, missiles, and ballistics in general have always been of interest to me. I wanted to find out the physical reasons different ammo types are more accurate at longer ranges. Ballistics and ballistic sciences are the studies of fired projectiles, most commonly bullets, and the behavior of these projectiles after being fired. These behaviors include the flight

Forensic Evidence Collected and Processed in the Wat Promkunaram Buddhist Temple Murders For the Midterm Writing Assignment project, I chose to review and summarize the Forensic Files episode titled, “The Buddhist Monk Murders” (S15, Ep3) (Dowling, 2001). In August 1991, nine Monks from the Wat Promkunaram Temple were forced to kneel in a circle in the living room then shot execution-style in the back of the head. Because of the number of victims and sheer brutality of the murders, this incident

According to Young and Ortmeier (2011), the forensic value of firearm and ballistics evidence is associated with the ability to link the firearm to the crime and the shooter. Markings and striations of the firearm on expended cartridge casings and projectile discovered at a crime are collected and compared to known bullets in a database of known firearm types and test-fired bullets. By checking these national databases, the firearm can be linked to several crimes or not connected to any crimes whatsoever

projectiles, trajectory, and the factors that affect these things. The first thing to know for the project, is what a projectile is. A projectile is any object cast, fired, flung, hurled, pitched, tossed, thrown, or propelled in any sort of way, by an external force and continues in motion by its own inertia. A projectile is most commonly referred to as a missile designed to be fired from a rocket or gun. You also need to understand how trajectory is related to a projectile. The trajectory is the path

enjoyed by many people, so much so that it is also done at a competitive level. Although many people may have shot a firearm of some sort, few of those people actually realize how much physics is involved with the shot. So what exactly is Ballistics? Ballistics is the science or study of the motion of projectiles and in the case of most firearms, these projectiles are the bullets. There are two things that affect the flight of a bullet once it has been shot out of the gun. These things are the drag

You have to remember safety first and treat all firearms as if they were loaded. There are many different types of firearms and ammunition out there, they all shoot different and not one firearm will create the same markings on the ammunition. Ballistics is the scientific study of the path of a bullet. A story can be told by the path the bullet takes. It can show where the shooter was standing, whether the shooter was inside or outside, and it can show whether the gunshot wound is self-inflicted

gun used in a crime? Well those both involve ballistics. The actual technical definition of ballistics if the science or study of the motion of projectiles, as bullets, shells, or bombs. (“Ballistics”). The origins of ballistics can be traced back to the 15th century when a german gunmaker discovered barrel rifling.(Evans 27). In order to understand ballistics and its effect on modern crime labs you need to understand interior and exterior ballistics, which treats of the motion of a projectile while

procedure known as “ballistic fingerprinting.” The impact of ballistic advancement has played a critical role in unraveling new levels of solving crimes in the criminal justice system. Ballistic fingerprinting specifies to a set strategy that depends exclusively on the imprints that a firearm leaves on a bullet to match it to the gun used to commit the crime. Ballistic fingerprinting requires gun manufacturers to test-fire the firearms they produce and store pictures of the ballistic markings left on
