Abstract:
Abstract: The purpose of the study. The article analyzes the forensic characteristics of firearms, cartridges (ammunition) for them, innovations in forensic ballistic examination for the study of weapons and cartridges manufactured by additive manufacturing (3D printing). Conclusions. Currently, the most innovative type of handguns (produced en masse) is a weapon manufactured by additive manufacturing (3D printing), which is constantly being improved, becoming more and more efficient and reliable, and the range of its types and production volume have a constant tendency to expand and grow. Innovations in the field of forensic ballistic examination, based on a specialized methodological base and the results of, albeit not very significant, but still existing, empirical experience in expert research of this type, serve to organize significant counteraction to criminal forms of use of this type of weapon. Firearms (in all its diversity) remain one of the most applicable means of criminal elements to realize their criminal intentions (which is manifested in its constant innovations, both in relation to samples of mass factory production, and, in particular, in relation to samples of small-scale, narrow-profile production).
