Simple gunshot residue analyses for estimating firing distance: Investigation with four types of fabrics

This work presents two simple methods for estimating the firing distance from the gunshot residues (GSRs) on fabric targets. Four types of fabric targets, namely twill weave denim cotton-polyester (80/20), jersey knitting 100% cotton, plain weave cotton-polyester (80/20) and plain weave cotton-polyester (60/40), were employed. The firing tests were carried out using these white fabrics as targets … Continue reading Simple gunshot residue analyses for estimating firing distance: Investigation with four types of fabrics
