Identification of gunshot residue: a critical review

Forensic Science International, 2001
A review of the scientific papers published on inorganic gunshot residue (GSR) analysis permits to study how the particle analysis has shown its capability in detection and identification of gunshot residue. The scanning electron microscope can be the most powerful tool for forensic scientists to determine the proximity to a discharging firearm and/or ...

Gunshot residue preservation in seawater

Forensic Science International, 2015
Little is known about the persistence of gunshot residue (GSR) in soft tissue and bones during decomposition in marine environments. For a better understanding, qualitative and quantitative data were obtained on GSR retention on soft tissue and bony gunshot wounds (GSWs).

A Survey of Gunshot Residue Analysis Methods

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 1996
Abstract A survey was sent to 80 forensic laboratories in 44 States and two Canadian Provinces concerning methodology in analyzing gunshot residue (GSR) and interpreting the results. Of the 80 surveys, 50 (63%) were returned completed. Questions included standard procedures, collection methods, thresholding problems and specificity of ...

Quantitative Analysis of Flash-Pulse Thermographic Detection of Gunshot Residue

Proceedings
This study addresses the detection of gunshot residue (GSR) around a bullet hole, which is one of the key forensic procedures for estimating the firing distance. GSR was inspected using flash-pulse thermography (FPT) with Kurtosis statistical processing.

Statistical Challenges in the Quantification of Gunshot Residue Evidence

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2013
AbstractThe discharging of a gun results in the formation of extremely small particles known as gunshot residues (GSR). These may be deposited on the skin and clothing of the shooter, on other persons present, and on nearby items or surfaces. Several factors and their complex interactions affect the number of detectable GSR particles, which can deeply ...

Fate and Behavior of Gunshot Residue—A Review [PDF]

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2017
AbstractA review of the literature concerning the fate and behavior of gunshot residue (GSR) is presented. A number of concomitant parameters including firearm and ammunition type, plume and GSR material characteristics, travel distances, chemical composition and GSR morphology are critically discussed in relation to their effects on the distribution ...

Active Thermography for Gunshot Residue (GSR) Pattern Estimation on Textiles [PDF]

, 2023
Gunshot residue (GSR) analysis on textiles plays a crucial role in forensic investigations. These residues vary in size and shape depending on the shooting distance; this relationship is evaluated by testing a new methodology of textile observation using

Is it possible to determine firearm calibre and shooting range from the examination of gunshot residue in close range gunshot wounds? An experimental study

Journal of Health Sciences, 2013
Introduction: The aim of the study was determining the type of weapon and shooting distance depending on chemical analysis of inorganic gunshot residue from the skin gunshot wounds in experimental animals (pigs). Methods: Experimental study was conducted
