Glock Pistol Toolmarks: A Literature Review and Introduction of Undocumented Toolmarks
This webinar will expand examiners' awareness of additional areas of interest for identification purposes. Two previously undocumented toolmarks were observed in Glock pistols and could potentially be used for other make/model pistols. These new toolmarks will expand an examiner’s ability to compare fired and unfired ammunition components to each other or to a suspect firearm.
This webinar was presented by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on December 12, 2021.
