FBI Firearms Examination

FBI Firearms Examination involves analyzing firearm evidence, such as bullets, cartridge cases, and firearms, to determine if they are linked to a specific gun or incident. Experts compare marks left on evidence—like striations or firing pin impressions—using specialized microscopes to establish matches or exclusions. This process helps law enforcement confirm whether a particular firearm was used in a crime, ensuring accurate and reliable forensic analysis within the investigative process.
