Bullet Trajectory Reconstruction on Vehicles

Authors:
Brian Vivona, Michael Gaspari
Journal:
Journal of Forensic Identification
Published:

Abstract:

Numerous challenges are faced when reconstructing bullet trajectories fired at a vehicle because of the irregular surfaces of the vehicle, impacts through open windows, and deflections. Creating and using baselines around a vehicle allows for measuring trajectory angles in relation to each other, the vehicle itself, and the angle of declination.
