    barrel, and often times soldiers had to use a mallet to pound the bullet down. That was, until Claude Minie invented the cone shaped lead bullet. The minie bullet. The minie bullet was smaller in diameter and therefore could slide down the barrel without the assistance of a mallet. The minie bullet was also much more accurate. Due to the shape of the bullet, the tip of it would slice through the air instead of pushing through like the musket balls used to. Since the minie bullets were much more efficient

  • Ballistics: Firearms Identification

    1405 Words  | 3 Pages

    Firearms identification is too often referred to as ballistics. The accurate definition can be referred to as, the identification of fired bullets, cartridge cases or other ammunition components as having been fired from a specific firearm. Due to the firearm being composed of hard metal like a tool, it creates markings on the cartridge components causing it to be more like Toolmark Identification. There are various items of evidence, other than the firearm itself, which the lab will use to aid

    behind the bullet to fill with extremely high pressure gas. The gas pushes on every surface it encounters, including the bullet in front of it and the base of the gun barrel behind it. The increase in pressure caused by the gases causes the bullet to be forced into the barrel hence causing the bullet to come out the muzzle at very high speeds. Once the bullet is fired, it remains in motion from its momentum. The momentum will carry the bullet until it strikes an object or gravity pulls the bullet towards
