| dc.description.abstract | Abstract: Bullet holes and their
characteristics are considered important
evidence in shooting incidents and can play a
major role in the determination of a fired
bullet’s trajectory. This research aimed to
design a software-based tool for bullet
trajectory determination in shooting
investigations. The development of the tool
was based on the analysis of data from
previous empirical test results of two
research papers from the authors relating to
the numerical relationship of AK bullet hole
features and the angles of incidence when AK
bullets (7.62mm x 39mm) perforate and
ricochet off 1mm zinc coated automotive
sheet metal. The proposed solution suggests
an alternative method to existing bullet
trajectory estimation methods used in
shooting investigations through a novel
software-based approach. | en_US |
