AN OPINION ON THE TRACES OF GUNSHOTS CLASSIFICATION

Summary/Abstract: A new classification proposed by the author orders the different categories of gunshots depending on the factors that caused the trace and the distance between the place of firing, and the body that was hit by the projectile. In this way, the traces created only on objects situated close to the mouth of the barrel and due to factors other than the projectile will be considered secondary signs, and those that remain on objects located at an arbitrary distance, but created by the action of the projectile or substances derived from its surface, will be defined as primary traces. It may be noted that the author considers the traces on the objects hit by the projectile regardless of distance from the mouth of fire as primary traces, while the secondary ones will be found only on close situated objects, not always hit by the projectile, so due to other factors which may not occur over a specific distance.
