This document discusses forensic ballistics and ammunition. It begins by defining forensic ballistics as the branch of science dealing with shooting incidents for legal purposes. It then discusses different types of ammunition such as rimfire, centerfire, caseless, and blank ammunition. It describes the components of ammunition including primers, propellants, and bullets. Various bullet types are outlined like full metal jacket, hollow point, ballistic tip, open tip, dum-dum, wire patched, rubber, and incendiary bullets. Improvised ammunition is also briefly discussed.

ammunition and its classification
BULLET # A BULLET IS A KINETIC PROJECTILE & COMPONENT OF FIREARM AMMUNITION THAT IS EXPELLED FROM THE GUN BARREL DURING SHOOTING. # BULLETS ARE MADE OF A VARIETY OF MATERIALS SUCH AS COPPER,LEAD,STEEL,POLYMER,RUBBER & EVEN WAX.
FULL METALJACKTED[FMJ] #THEY ARE USUALLY POINTY, ROUND, OR EVEN FLAT #WOUND CHANNELS ARE TYPICALLY SMALL & GO THROUGH A TARGET #GREAT FOR THE RANGE BUT NOT PREFERRED FOR DEFENSIVE ROUNDS.
HOLLOW POINT BULLET #HOLLOW POINTS ARE MADE ARE MADE TO EXPAND ONCE THEY HIT SOMETHING. #THEY ARE THE GO-TO ROUND FOR POLICE OFFICERS , CONCEALED WEAPONCARRIERS,& DEFENCE GUNS BECAUSE OF THEIR STOPPING POWER.
BALLISTIC TIP #THIS IS WHAT WHEN YOU GET & COMBINE THE AERODYNAMICS OF AN FMJ WITH THE STOPPING POWER OF A HOLLW POINT. #THIS IS A HOLLOW POINT COVERD WITH PLASTIC TO MIMIC THE PROFILE OF AN FMJ,THEY ARE USUALLY USED IN HUNTING.
OPENTIP BULLETS #OPEN ¨CTIP BULLETS LOOK LIKE HOLLOW POINTS SINCE THEY HAVE AN OPENING AT THE TOP ,BUT THIS IS MORE BECAUSE OF THEIR MANUFACTURING PROCESS. #THE OPENINGS ARE TO EXPAND EFFECTIVELY.
DUM-DUM BULLET #THESE ARE PROJECTILES DESIGNED TO EXPAND ON IMPACT,INCREASING IN DIAMETER TO LIMIT PENETRATION & OR PRODUCE A LARGER DIAMETER WOUND FASTER INCAPACITATION.
WIRE PATCHED BULLET #A WIRE PATCHED BULLET IS A CAST LEAD BULLET WRAPPED WITH WIRE ON THE BEARING SURFACE TO STRENGTHEN THE BULLET & PERMIT HIGHER VELOCITIES WITHOUT STRIPPING OR LEADING THE BORE.
RUBBER BULLET #THEY ARE INTENDED TO BE A NON-LETHAL ALTERNATIVE TO METAL PROJECTILES.
INCENDARY BULLET #THESE BULLETS ARE MADE WITH AN EXPLOSIVE OR FLAMMABLE MIXTURE IN THE TIP THAT IS DESIGNED TO IGNITE ON CONTACT WITH A TARGET. #THE INTENT IS TO IGNITE FUEL IN THE TARGET AREA ,THEREBY ADDING TO THE DESTRUCTIVE POWER OF THE BULLET ITSELF.
IMPROVISED AMMUNITION ? IMPROVISED FIREARMS [SOMETIMES CALLED ZIP GUN OR PIPE GUNS ] ARE FIREARMS MANUFACTURED BY A GUNSMITH, & ARE TYPICALLY CONSTRUCTED BY ADAPTING EXISTING MATERIALS TO THE PURPOSE. ? IMPROVISED FIREARMS ARE COMMONLY USED AS TOOLS BY CRIMINALS & INSURGENTS & ARE OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH GROUPS ,OTHER USES INCLUDE SELF-DEFENCE IN LAWLESS AREAS & HUNTING GAME IN POOR RURAL AREAS.
