ballistic analysis

Ballistic analysis is the scientific examination of firearms, ammunition, and projectile impacts to determine facts in legal cases. Experts analyze bullets, cartridge cases, and marks left on them to identify the firearm used or link a weapon to a crime scene. They also study patterns of gunfire and impact points to understand how a shooting occurred. This process involves comparing evidence with known samples and using specialized tools to interpret the data. Overall, ballistic analysis helps establish details about firearm use, aiding investigations and court judgments with factual, scientific evidence.
