Firearms Type Brand Model Caliber Observations Ex. Handgun Walter PPQ 9mm Cuts to barrel and magazine release.

used in a homicide. Can you determine that the firearm has been altered in any way? If not, what other tests can you use with more time to help your forensic investigation? Not fully, due to the condition of the gun it's clearly older and clearly in most the best condition though further examining of the bullet found on scene and the gun could probably lead to seeing if the gun was connected with the homicide Based on your observations of Firearm #2 Can you determine if this firearm may have been used in a homicide. Can you determine that the firearm has been altered in any way? If not, what other tests can you use with more time to help your forensic investigation?

Though the gun shows no major sign of alteration besides the missing serial codes and model.
