Firearms discharge residue (FDR) is composed of materials produced during the discharge of a firearm due to the explosion of the cartridge. FDR can be useful during criminal investigations to get information about several aspects of a shooting incident, such as the possible involvement of a suspect. Scanning electron microscopy with x-ray detection is the most efficient method of analyzing FDR particles, but the increasing use of heavy-metal-free primers raises the need for new analytical techniques and an improved approach to the interpretation of the analytical results.

Abstract

Firearms discharge residue (FDR) is composed of materials produced during the discharge of a firearm due to the explosion of the cartridge. FDR can be useful during criminal investigations to get information about several aspects of a shooting incident, such as the possible involvement of a suspect. Scanning electron microscopy with x-ray detection is the most efficient method of analyzing FDR particles, but the increasing use of heavy-metal-free primers raises the need for new analytical techniques and an improved approach to the interpretation of the analytical results.
