The relevance of current forensic firearms examination techniques when applied to 3D printed firearms

In conclusion, the Liberator can be used reliably for one shot and will not yield any evidence for Firearms and Toolmark Examination.Highlights It is crucial to understand if markings caused by 3D printing are relevant to the firearm examination. Understanding the impact of absent rifling and firing pin impressions is critical in firearms examination. It is important to understand the feasibility of manufacturing completely 3D-printed firearms.PMID:38282520 | DOI:10.1111/1556-4029.15467
