The visualization and endurance of fingerprints on cartridge cases after the firing process have been examined. Cartridges of M16, AK-47 (Kalashnikov) and Parabellum have been tested. Despite difficulties in visualizing these fingerprints, it was found that in some cartridge cases under laboratory conditions--for instance, on M16 brass cartridges--substantial parts of the fingerprints remain intact after shooting. The careful use of illumination after metal vapor deposition enabled visualization. Different possible mechanisms responsible for the partial destruction of the fingerprints are discussed.
已对射击后弹壳上指纹的显现情况和耐久性进行了研究。对M16、AK - 47(卡拉什尼科夫)和帕拉贝鲁姆手枪的弹药进行了测试。尽管在显现这些指纹方面存在困难,但发现在实验室条件下,某些弹壳上——例如M16黄铜弹壳——射击后指纹的大部分仍保持完整。金属蒸镀后谨慎使用照明可实现指纹显现。文中讨论了导致指纹部分破坏的不同可能机制。
