THE DETERMINATION OF GUNSHOT FIRING DISTANCES UP TO 160 CENTIMETERS IS POSSIBLE BY MEANS OF A SIMPLE MICRO COPPER ANALYSIS.

Abstract

FROM A COMPARISON OF ACCURATELY KNOWN STANDARDS WITH THE RESULTS FROM SPOT ANALYSIS BY DITHIOOXAMIDE IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE, WITHOUT ADDITIONAL INSTRUMENTATION, A SEMIQUANTITATIVE ESTIMATION OF THE COPPER CONTENT. THE COPPER POWDER FROM BULLET REACHING THE TARGET IS A FUNCTION OF MUZZLE TO TARGET DISTANCE. --IN GERMAN. SUMMARIES IN GERMAN AND ENGLISH
