Abstract

With automatic and semiautomatic firearms, the location of expended cartridge casings can be important in establishing the approximate location of a shooter’s firearm when one or more shots have been fired. Even manually operated firearms eject cartridge casings, so locations of reloading could be identified. It may also be possible to determine whether a shooter moved from one location to another or failed to move in any significant way, during the discharge of multiple shots. The value of cartridge casing locations improves if one also has an azimuth line or direction of fire for the associated shots.
