With a new chapter on the determination of bullet caliber via x-ray photography, this edition includes revised material on muzzle attachments, proof marks, non-toxic bullets, and gunshot residues. Essential reading for forensic scientists, firearms examiners, defense and prosecution practitioners, the judiciary, and police force, this book is also a helpful reference guide for undergraduate and graduate forensic science students About The Author: Brian Heard began his career as an examiner in firearms and ballistics with the Metropolitan Police Forensic Firearms Laboratory at New Scotland Yard, London, UK.
