Abstract
This research is applied to throw light on the medicolegal
importance of GSR, and to find a method to investigate the
cases which arise from firearm injuries. Also, an idea about
different types of ballistics and their structures, different
types of weapons and ammunition, firearm injuries and
history of fire-arms was applied in this research. As the
chemical analysis of a bullet found in a body or on the scene
of the crime, may give the investigator very important clues,
this research demonstrate the different methods which were
be applied to detect GSR from a fired bullet to indicate the
type of the ballistic and the weapon used in the crime.
• Chemical analysis of bullet alloys and smokeless powder
has the leader role to identify the GSR particles in firearm
injuries by using different methods of analysis including:
ICP-MS method, pyrolysis gas chromatography, neutron
activation analysis [NAA], atomic absorption spectrometry
[AAS], scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive
x-ray analysis [SEM-EDX], scanning electron microscope,
energy dispersive spectrometry [SEMlEDS], micellar
electrokinetic capillary eletrophoresis [MECE] etc...
• So, we can conclude that, the benefit of particle analysis of
the gun-shot residue in the medicolegal investigations is the
most defenitive and successful method for an accurate
detection of the weapons and the ammunition used, and it
should be applied in all cases of firearm injuries.
