It is used in criminal investigations to link projectiles and casings found at a crime scene to a specific weapon or to determine other details of a shooting incident, such as the trajectory or distance from which a shot was fired. Expert ballisticians can match unique markings on a bullet or casing to the specific firearm that fired it, providing critical evidence in firearm-related cases.","examples":[],"notes":[],"history_note":null,"editorial_note":null,"in_scheme":null,"identifier":null,"description":null,"source":null,"country":null}
