The Silver Bullet When I think back about all the memories that were made in my car, the Silver Bullet, there are simply too many to list. I have spent many hours in my car and I have come to have a deep understanding for the three basic areas: the front seats, back seats, and the trunk. Each of these areas are extremely important to the makeup of the car as a whole. No matter how many different cars I have, this car will always hold a special place in my heart. The front seats are broken…

reversing my vehicle I accidentally bumped into a car behind me, but before realizing what I had done wrong we were being bombarded with gunshots. Thinking back, I do remember for a brief moment we were filled with joy because we were finally heading to our destination, but that joy was soon taken away and filled with screams of fears and pain.

So a list was drawn up with the intention of testing everyone to find a match. He concluded that the bullets had been fired at joanne's…

on the long range shooting. The 6.5 Creedmoor is relatively less expensive, has less recoil and wind deflection and carries most of its energy on the range. The supersonic designed cartridge maintains its accuracy past the 1,200 yards. Tests have shown that the bullet velocity of 6.5 Creedmoor only drops at sub-sonic level in ranges set at between 1,200 to 1,400 yard targets. In terms of design considerations, 6.5mm (“.254”) bullets have a reputation for high ballistic coefficient and…

are called tool mark impressions. The forensic technique of analyzing the impressions left on the bullet is call ballistic fingerprinting. There are two types of strations, class characteristics and individual characteristics. Class characteristics are shared by on type of gun and manufacture, for example a colt peacemaker has 6 lands and grooves left-hand twist. The individual characteristics are specific to the individual gun, for example any imperfections of the lands and grooves caused by…
