Firing Pin Micro-Printing for Identification of Firearm

Indian journal of forensic medicine and pathology, Mar 15, 2023

The three basic components of a örearm are the breech, barrel, and stock. The öring pin and hammer are part of the breech. The öring is initiated when the hammer strikes the öring pin, which then forcefully impacts the percussion cap at the base of the cartridge containing the primary explosive substance. During this procedure, the öring pin leaves distinct markings on the percussion cap that help determine if the purported handgun can be positively or unfalsiöably identified during test öring. These markings, however, can occasionally be purposefully damaged or removed in order to lead the investigation officer or ballistic expert astray. Firing pin markings won’t be useful for identiöcation in these circumstances. The conceptual work in the current study involves using micro laser printing to engrave the serial number of örearms on the öring pin’s surface as well as precise markings at the öring pin’s tip. These carefully etched markings will make it easier to identify factory made weapons in shooting incident instances. However, the main goal of this effort was to increase the signiöcance of öring pin marks for the identiöcation and linkage of the öred cartridge case and örearm. Although there are other ways for identiöcation, such as breech marks, extractor marks, chamber marks, etc.

ABSTRACT

Secular Changes on the Stature Reconstruction from Hand and Foot Dimensions among Sikhs of Delhi

Journal of forensic medicine and legal affairs, Mar 9, 2016

An individual's hand or foot, when recovered and brought for forensic examination, can provide valuable information about a person's identity. Stature provides insight into various features of a population, including nutrition, health and genetics, geographical location, environment and climatic condition. Stature estimation remains a constant challenge for forensic anthropologists because of secular changes in stature due to allometric changes in long bones, and migrations of world populations. In the forensic literature a considerable attention has been paid in regard to stature estimation from long bones. But little attention has been received on secular changes in hand and foot dimensions in a homogenous population with similar climatic adaptation over the years. The present study deals with the comparison of hand length and foot length along with stature among male and female Sikhs of the Delhi region in two different time frames i.e., 1998-2015 (16 years). Both studies were compared to see the secular changes in these parameters. The results show that in the year 2015, a negative secular trend is observed in the mean value of stature among both male and female Sikhs, thereby indicating their weaker socioeconomic , environmental and biological parameters. No marked secular changes have been observed in hand and foot dimensions over the years. This indicates that hand and foot dimensions are genetically driven as negligible differences could be observed in their mean values.
