Summary Introduction
To find: If an examiner can determine the exact firing distance without a weapon.
Introduction: The crime scene provides various evidences such as firearm which includes guns or rifles, bullets, cartridges, impressions, fingerprints, and tool marks. The firearm examiner collects, identifies, and compares the evidences from the crime scene. The determination of distance is an important method of calculating the distance between the firearm and the target based on patterns.

Nitrogen, a mineral, is an important part of all living cells. All organisms need nitrogen in order to grow and repair. Although nitrogen exists in its elemental form in the atmosphere, it cannot be directly used by plants. 7 Where else can plants obtain their nitrogen from? Plants make their own nitrogen. B Plants get it from animals. Plants get it from the soil. D Plants have special structures to break down atmospheric nitrogen. v3.7.63.140.4 | 6763e9417a3dbb80fa0f87b2 | Dec 19, 2024 | 3:07 PM | 84126 | en_8arrow_forward
