Impact radial fracture lines ends shortly after the earlier impacts. In this case, bullet (C) was the first shot followed by (B) And lastly (A).
In order to figure out the order of bullets is figuring out the radial fractures is looking at the initial fracture. Bullet fractures are round and has the same shape as a wheel. Fractures Also connects in the shape of a spider web. Then you have to figure out which side the fragment is facing in and which side of the fragment is facing out.
Ridges called conchoidal fractures are created when a bullet hits glass, they are called conchoidal fractures. If multiple bullets fracture glass, it’s possible to figure out the order that they were struck. Usually, the fractures caused by the second bullet doesn’t cross the first. The fractures end when it run into glass that is has been already cracked. …show more content…
depending on the thickness of the glass, most lines have a tendency to to bend away from the point of impact. If you look more closely to the fractures, you can see that the smaller lines are in a parallel direction and the edges are facing away from the original location of impact which are also called hackle marks. (Saferstein,2011). Any force applied on any one of its surfaces; will cause the glass to bend. Normally, a broken window can leave traces of information in regards to the direction and impact of the glass; with that information in can’t be helping when reenacting crimes scenes for investigations.
