The ballistics unit proved to be very engaging. The job of a ballistics specialist is extremely detail-oriented and meticulous. We used a simulation online to attempt to match 4 bullets to 4 reference bullets. A bullet is super difficult to match, because it is a clyndrical object. There is no direct face, or place that can isolate certain ridges. It is a continum. The bullets are often rusted, dirty, or mishaped from impact, so there is never a full match. This means that analysts must be confident enough in relativity to declare a bullet a match. Reference bullets are huge help in ballistics. The bullet fired from a gun in a lab setting is the only true confirmation of the match between weapon and bullet. The commonalities in striations and deformations are then scourged in order to determine matches and \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cunique\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d qualities. The use of references and databases are critical in weapon analysis.<\/p>\n
