  • Bullet Caliber and Type Categorization from Gunshot Wounds in Sus Scrofa (Linnaeus) Long Bone
    J Forensic Sci,2019 doi: 10.1111/1556-4029.14004 TECHNICAL NOTE Available online at: onlinelibrary.wiley.com ANTHROPOLOGY Bailey J. Henwood,1 B.Sc. (Hons); Tracy S. Oost,1 B.Sc. (Hons); and Scott I. Fairgrieve ,1 Ph.D. Bullet Caliber and Type Categorization from Gunshot Wounds in Sus Scrofa (Linnaeus) Long Bone ABSTRACT: Studies on ballistic trauma to the ribs and thorax, cranium, and long bones demonstrate the potential of obtaining a bullet cal- iber from an entrance wound. In order to validate prior research on caliber estimation in bone tissue and assess the viability of bullet type deter- mination based on the macroscopic evidence at the entrance wound, thirty fleshed pork (Sus scrofa) shoulders (humeri) were shot with either lead or copper jacketed bullets in one of three calibers; 0.22, 9 mm, or 0.38. Overall, our findings are consistent with previous research indicat- ing that calibers can be grouped into “small” and “large” categories. Bullet type, lead or copper jacket, can be ascertained based on cortical flaking and the analysis of materials deposited around the entry wound. The addition of this evidence holds value in cases where no firearm or ballistic evidence is recovered from a crime scene. KEYWORDS: forensic science, forensic anthropology, ballistics, gunshot wound, bullet caliber, bullet type Evidence of ballistic trauma to the ribs and thorax (1,2), cra- is the potential deposit of lead or copper to the bone from the nium (3–5), and long bones (6,7) can yield important investiga- bullet upon impact. Entry wounds were examined to determine tive information.

  • Colt Model 1911 Caliber .455 Weblev Converted to .45
    ColtModel 1911 Caliber .455 Weblev Convertedto .45ACP Byj CaptainLior Nedivi, lsrael NationalPolice HQ, Divisionof Identificationand Forensic Science,Weapons Identification Laboratory. Key Words: mismatchingof ammunition,Colt, ,455Webley Automatic, .45 ACP,fi rearmconversion. Abstract Colt model1911, caliber.455 Webley Automatic, was convertedto caliber .45ACP dueto rarity of originalammunition. This is a caseof "mismatchingof ammunition" where th€ firearm was conv€rtedto fit the ammunition,not vice yersa as commonly performed. This firearm conversionled to the changeof familyand individualcharacteristics on thebullets and cartridge cases. The phenomenaof "mismatchingof arnmunition" has been describedby Hatcher, Jury ard Weller,in their book Firearm Investigation,Identification and Evidence(pp 311-315),but more in the contextof physicallychanging the ammunitionto fit the firearm. The most common tlpe of "mismatchingof arxnunition",according to Hatcheret al. and casesreceived by our laboratory, is where the bullet caliber is the samebut the cartridgecase is wrong. The substitute cartridgecase is simplyloaded and fred. Othert)pes of mismatchingis doneby simpiyfiling or grindingoffrims ofrevolver amrnunitionso it will functionin an automaticpistol. Still another,a bit ofcopperwire or evena paperclip couldbe usedon rimlesscartridge cases to achievea rim for usein revolvers;a muchbetter method than having to elevatethe barreito aid in fuing pin pressure to the prirner.The list is long.This articlegives an exampleof'lnismatching of ammunition"by convertng a firea.m to fit ammunitionof a different caliber and to the best of our knowledgeit is the fust timethis kind ofconversionis reported.

  • Coyote Rifle
    The “Perfect” Coyote Rifle In his senior year of high school, my youngest son and hunting partner, Ben, needed a Senior Project. Ben is an avid predator hunter, long range shooter and gun nut so he chose to build a rifle for his project. He would be working under the tutelage of a local mentor. Ben is also both careful and artistic in his approach to his responsibilities so his mother and I blessed him in the endeavor. School rules and personal finances precluded him from building the rifle for himself so, never being one to miss an opportunity to add to my rifle collection, I funded the project for Ben and we began to plan The “Perfect” Coyote Rifle. This project, like a work of art, is in the eye of the beholder. Our own tastes and experiences as well as our priorities and needs influence our decisions. My needs and tastes may differ from another hunter’s so defining those parameters may be in order. The Objective The AR-15 could arguably be the perfect platform for a calling rifle. AR’s are very accurate. They provide rapid follow-up shots. And, they are quickly and easily modified for different applications. I ran a two or three year stint with AR-15’s and, while I still own some AR’s, I have gravitated back to bolt rifles for calling. I cut my teeth on bolt action rifles and, while the AR-15 is a very effective coyote rifle, it is a different beast than a bolt gun.
