FBI Ballistics Unit
The FBI Ballistics Unit is a specialized team that analyzes firearms, ammunition, and bullets from crime scenes. They compare bullets and shell casings to see if they match a weapon used in crimes, helping to identify suspects. They also examine markings on bullets or weapons that are unique, like fingerprints. Their work provides crucial evidence to link a weapon to a crime or a person, supporting law enforcement in investigations and court cases. The unit combines forensic science, firearms expertise, and detailed analysis to uncover facts that might otherwise be difficult to prove.
