Description
Gunthers’ The Identification of Firearms combined the approaches of these volumes into a new book that emphasized both the painstaking scientific methodology necessary to firearms identification, complete with ballistics photographs, and its practical use by analyses of several legal cases where firearms identification was once used. These include the infamous Sacco-Vanzetti case, the first in American legal history where forensic ballistics played a very prominent role in courtroom proceedings. The Gunther brothers utilized their respective legal and military experience to provide a comprehensive reference volume that may be noteworthy for those interested in law enforcement or ballistics in addition to gun enthusiasts.
