NATURE, TIME, DATE, PLACE OF THE INCIDENT
The science that deals with the scientific analysis of fired ammunition is called Ballistic Analysis, or simply Ballistics, which Oxford Dictionaries Online define as “the science
of projectiles and firearms” or “the scientific study of the effects of being fired on a bullet, cartridge or gun.”
Entrance (Round or Oval in shape, Inverted edges) & Exit (Irregular in shape, Everted edges) wound could help us track the trajectory of the bullet.
Abrasion Collar is only found in the entrance wound.
Abrasion / Contusion Collar would indicate point of entrance or origin of the bullet.
If bullet approaches the skin perpendicularly, there is no abrasion or contusion collar.
