Gunshot Residue, Ten Years Later

The American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, 1991
Gunshot residues may be central to a competent reconstruction of a shooting incident. When a young boy was shot in the neck by a playmate using a .22-caliber single-action revolver, permanent paralysis from mid-thorax downward ensued. Ten years later the victim sued the importer, the vendor, the German manufacturer, and the shooter's family ...

Formation of Gunshot Residues

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 1982
Abstract Scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDX) was used to determine new structural criteria to further substantiate the view that gunshot residue (GSR) particles have a characteristic structure. Because GSR particles are formed by rapid cooling from extreme temperatures and high pressures,

A Photoluminescence Technique for Detection of Gunshot Residue

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 1975
Abstract When a suspect has been apprehended following a shooting, detection of gunshot residue on his hands may provide significant evidence in the investigation. The determination of the firing distance (distance from weapon to target) by the distribution of gunshot residue around a bullet hole is also useful in various gunshot ...

Detection of gunshot residues in routine CTs

International Journal of Legal Medicine, 2000
The forensic assessment of non-fatal gunshot wounds often proves to be difficult as wounds have usually been cleaned and protected with a sterile bandage by the time of the examination. The aim of our investigation was to test the possible application of computed tomography (CT) for the forensic assessment. Doing so raised the questions whether gunshot

Gunshot Residue Analysis—A Review

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 1997
Abstract A review of all aspects of analysis associated with gunshot residues is provided. This includes a summary of what both inorganic and organic residues are, how they arise and how they may be collected from a variety of substrates.

Voltammetric analysis of luminescent markers in gunshot residues

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2023
AbstractCurrently, SEM‐EDS is used to detect gunshot residue (GSR) from the presence of Ba, Pb, and Sb in the sample. However, the development of new nontoxic ammunition (NTA) has prevented conventional metals from being found. In this work, we aim to determine the presence of an inorganic luminescent chemical marker based on rare earth in gunshot ...

A Simple Histochemical Technique for the Identification of Gunshot Residue

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 1991
Abstract Alizarin red S (ARS) is a commonly used organic dye useful in the histologic identification of calcium deposits. ARS also forms colored reaction products with other metal ions, including barium and lead, which are present in primer residue. In histochemical studies.

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 ...

An Interesting Gunshot Residue Pattern

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 1985
Abstract The presence of lead, copper, and antimony (Sb, Cu, and Pb) was shown on the left back and right palm by use of anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). These data are consistent with a cross overhand held weapon (left over right).

[The "inner gunshot residue"--a gunshot entry marker in gunshot of ridged skin].

Archiv fur Kriminologie, 1992
Gunshot residue below the surface of the skin is typical of a contact gunshot wound. However, in a case of our own, when a taxi-robber was shot by the cab driver through his right hand at a distance of several yards, this finding provoked quite a confusion. Only when experimental shots at thick glabrous skin were performed, it could be established that
