    The document discusses rifling systems and ballistics laboratory equipment. There are two main types of rifling systems: the broaching system which cuts spiral grooves inside the barrel, and the button system which depresses portions of the bore surface to create grooves. The document also lists and describes 10 pieces of common equipment used in a ballistics laboratory, including comparison microscopes to examine bullets and cartridge cases, stereoscope microscopes for preliminary examination, comparison projectors, bullet recovery boxes to obtain test bullets/shells, measuring projectors to determine rifling characteristics, and chronographs to measure bullet speeds.

    FOR 6

    I. Enumerate the types of riflings and explain.

    Rifling Stage- the creation of lands and grooves inside the bore to improve projection
    of the bullet during firing, Rifling stage have to system the broaching system and the
    button system.

    ⦁ Broaching System

    We use a broaching cutter that cuts a longitudinal spiral grooves inside the
    barrel. It produces the desired number of lands and grooves in a single stroke. The
    teeth cut away the metal in the grooves as the broach is forced through the barrel by
    hydraulic pressure. Successive cutting disks increase in diameter until the desired
    groove depth is reached.

    ⦁ Button System

    Same through with the broaching cutter it produces the desired number of lands
    and grooves simultaneously but in a different manner. It does not cut longitudinal spiral
    grooves inside but it produces the same by depressing a portion of the internal surface
    of the bore thus creating the groove

    II. Discuss and explain the different types of equipment used in a ballistics
    laboratory.

    1. Comparison Microscope - This valuable instrument is specially designed to permit the


    firearm examiner to determine the similarity and dissimilarity between two fired bullets
    or two fired cartridge cases by simultaneously observing their magnified image. It is
    actually two microscope couple together with a single or two eye piece, so that when
    one looks through this comparison eye piece, he is seeing one half of what is under the
    other – in other words, half of the evidence bullet and half of the test bullet.      

    2. Stereoscope Microscope - This is generally used in the preliminary examination of


    fired bullets and fired shells. To determine the location of the extractor marks and
    ejector marks for orientation purposes. It can be used also in one close-up examination
    of tampered serial numbers of firearms.      
    3. Comparison Projector (CP6) - This is generally used in the preliminary examination
    of fired bullets and fired shells. To determine the location of the extractor marks and
    ejector marks for orientation purposes. It can be used also in one close-up examination
    of tampered serial numbers of firearms.      

    4. Bullet Recovery Box - For obtaining best fired bullet or test fired cartridge cases
    from the suspected firearms submitted to the ballistics laboratory. In test firing
    suspected firearms, it is standard procedure to used ammunition that is of the same
    caliber, make or brand and manufactured in the same year with that of the
    evidence bullet or shell. Water is one of the means to obtain test bullets and test shells
    because the microscope marks on the cylindrical or peripheral surface of the bullets are
    preserved for good used. The same is true with cotton.      

    5. Measuring Projector (MP6) - This projector determines the width of the lands, width
    of grooves, diameter and twist of fired bullets.      

    6. Veneer Caliper - This instrument determines the bullet diameter and barrel length.      

    7. Analytical Balance - This more or less determines the weight of the bullets, shots
    and pellets for possible type, caliber and make for firearm from which they were fired.      

    8. Taper Gauge - Used for determining the diameter of the bore of the firearms.      

    9.Onoscope - For examining the interior surface of the barrel.      

    10. Helixometer - For measuring the pitch of the rifling. Pitch of rifling is the distance
    advanced by the rifling in one complete turn or a distance traveled by the bullet in
    one complete turn.      

    11. Chronograph - For determining the speed of the bullet or the muzzle velocity of the
    bullet.
