Bullet

mortis, two bullet cartridges, and gunshot residue. The investigators were able to find ID inside the house and matched the victim to the resident of the apartment. The victim is Claire Evans, 28, and daughter of a wealthy business man. The investigators saw the cup lying next to the body and the cup on the table and their is a theory that the person who killed Ms. Evans

scene of a crime with the test specimens. (http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/lab/forensic-science-communications/fsc/july2009/review/2009_07_review01.htm). “The examination process typically begins when an examiner receives a suspect firearm, along with bullets (the projectiles) and spent cartridge cases recovered from a crime scene.”

Firearms can be investigated in many different ways. The most common way is examining the bullet. Bullet characteristics such as shape, impressions, and grooves can help determine what type of firearm the bullet was launched from. The same can be 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

Ballistic Analysis Sacha J. Boroumand New West Charter High School Abstract Ballistic Analysis is the science of mechanics, especially weapons like projectiles, bullets,  and bombs.  Since technology is changing everyday, there has to be new ways for weapons to be made as well as laws to be made to prohibit them.  Ballistic Analysis also helps create new types of technology to create better and more efficient weapons.  Ballistic weapons are being changed for the better, yet are being used

with access to the images and information. 2. What is rifling? What two types of markings does this produce? A rifling is a given spiral grooves by the manufacturer. This rifling or spiral grooves cut into the barrel of a gun in order to make a bullet spin as it is fired. Rifling produces grooves and lands. 3. What is a distance determination? How is this done? A distance determination is the process of estimating the distance between where a shot is fired and its target. This is often done

Edward Freiburger was involved. From forensics examination of those three bullets indicated that the bullets were fired from a .32 caliber Harrington and Richardson (H&R) revolver. Police did manage to catch

Mathematical Model Consider the impact of a bullet on a fabric of soft armor made up of interlinked and crisscrossed yarns. The fabric consists of n layers stacked above one another. The bullet carries a momentum which it transfers to the yarns in the fabric. These yarns, due to their capability to quickly dissipate the energy of the bullet by transferring it to neighboring yarns in all directions, prevent the bullet from passing through. The mechanism of the bullet impact and the subsequent stoppage can

types of jacketed bullets, Full metal and Hollowpoint. I will be using the BBS100 textbook, and the Bullet Swaging in a nut shell by Corbin swaging on Corbins.com as a reference for this discussion board. In this discussion board I will explain the difference between the two and the uses for them as well. Full Metal Jacket: Like the name implies it is a fully wrapped lead core. This bullet is designed with a enclosed tip to prevent expanding when it reaches its target. These bullets are for penetration

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

firearm by turning on the safety, if there is one. The fifth step is to remove the ammunition, or bullets left in the firearm. The sixth step is to place the unused ammunition or bullets into a paper bag, label and seal the bag. The seventh step is to take the firearm and place it into a separate paper bag than the ammunition and bullets, and properly label and seal the paper bag. All used ammunition, bullets, and casings found should be placed
