Advanced Forensic Firearm Identification Kit
This kit
elaborates on topics introduced in the Firearm ID kit. In
particular, this module examines the areas of gun powder and shotgun
ammunition in depth. The various types of gun powder, their
characteristics, and how this information is used to
solve crimes is included in the Power Point lecture. Two
laboratory exercises based on the lecture utilize the samples of gun
powder included with the kit.
The second topic
examined in depth in this kit is shotshells and their components.
Different compositions of shot, the various sizes, and specialized
ammunition such as slugs are covered in the Power Point lecture. The
information provided in the lecture provides the basis for two of the
laboratory exercises. Basing laboratory exercises on the
information presented in the Power Point helps to reinforce the
information.
As with the other
kits designed by Precision Forensic Testing
utilizes real samples and actual crime laboratory procedures
to reinforce the lecture Power Point. This presentation includes
two case studies where gunpowder and the shotshell components played a
vital role in the case.
The Forensic
Firearm Identification Kit is a perquisite for ordering the Advanced
Kit. The material covered in both the lab and lecture is based
on background information covered in the Forensic Firearm Identification
Kit.
The components of
the Advanced Forensic Firearm Education Kit allow for four different laboratory
exercises. These laboratory exercises encourage the activity based
skills of observation, measurement, mathematics, microscopy, and
chemistry.
One kit will
easily serve 24 students (based on students working in pairs).
Additional calipers are available for purchase and strongly recommended.
The shotgun shot lab exercise relies on accurately measuring the
shot. To provide the maximum value to you, the shot is reusable.
The gunpowder lab exercise only uses a few flakes of powder per
experiment. The sample vial contains enough gunpowder to do well
over 100 labs.
