Hunting shot – evolution of manufacturing technology
Hunting shot are 1.2–10 mm diameter balls, usually made of lead alloys, forming a cluster projectile used in smoothbore hunting shotguns. Shot may also be used in pistol and revolver ammunition, in which it can constitute structural element of the ...

Abstract Although soft tissue simulants are widely used in ballistic research, glycerine soap is the only material that offers a clear view of the temporary cavity of a wound channel without the use of optical apparatus. However, the latter still shows some inconvenience mostly on its weight and its dehydration process when cut, making it challenging ...

Ballistics Forensically Applied
Forensic Ballistics are two rather high-sounding words, but the use of them is required to convey briefly the information intended. The word "forensic" pertains to courts of justice; "ballistics" defines the science of projectiles. Consequently, Forensic Ballistics is the application of the knowledge of firearms, powders, and bullets to judicial ...

Thermal persistence and physicochemical modification of inorganic gunshot residue (IGSR)
Abstract In the medicolegal context, GSR analysis plays a key role in clarifying the dynamics of firearm‐related deaths, including lesion identification and firing distance determination. However, postmortem alterations of the body, such as thermal exposure, may influence the analysis of lesions and complicate interpretation.

Abstract Forensic ballistics is essential in analyzing evidence from firearm use in criminal investigations, with gunshot residue (GSR) detection providing key information about the firearm and shooting conditions. Traditional methods like spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have limitations in sensitivity, cost, and accessibility ...
