MODERN MODULAR FIREARMS AS OBJECT OF FORENSIC BALLISTIC RESEARCH
Handguns today are increasingly manufactured according to the principles of modular design technology. Layout schemes of such samples often provide for the presence of conversion (transitional) kits, which may include interchangeable gate groups, modules of the shock trigger mechanism and also trunks of various calibers and lengths. Forensic research of such weapons is particularly difficult and requires the expert not only maximum concentration in solving the identification, diagnostic and classification tasks of forensic ballistics, but also to make appropriate adjustments to the existing expert research methodologies.
