Experimental study of bullet holes on aluminium targets fired with 9mm pistol and 9mm submachine gun (SMG) at varying distances

All the guns have their own unique identifying features and even if the gun has not been left at the crime scene many degrees of information can be determined from the bullet, bullet holes on the targets, the nature of the wound and any residue that is left around it. Researchers have conducted st...
