| 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.
