Cartridges and Firearm Identification

Beschreibung

Lavishly illustrated, this comprehensive reference presents a multidisciplined approach to questions that arise regarding ammunition and firearms within the context of investigation. It photographically defines and depicts all varieties of firearms, presents investigative concerns regarding firearms evidence, and introduces readers to the standards of measurement used to classify ammunition-including the significance of names, adjectives, and other descriptors used in conjunction with ammunition cartridges. The book provides ammunition manufacturing practices for dozens of nations and offers a methodology for the identification of unknown firearms as well as ammunition of questioned identity.
