social media apps such as WhatsApp, emergency services and CCTV cameras all of that can determine a
crime. However, in determining gunshot there are technology that can find evidence by using x ray and
comparison macroscopy and 3d imaging. The database is also there to store the database of firearms
and suspects in order them to link the evidence. This technology are good in prevention of crime.
There are also Challenges & Practices Inconsistencies in firearm investigation and one of this are
Inconsistent terminology & lack awareness. The Incompatible databases in between countries and there
is also lack of data and sharing specially in forensic science in their country because of lack of
information about that. Another one is there are no feedback. In the Firearm investigation there are
