Forensic researchers face substantial hurdles when it comes to retrieving fingerprint evidence from gunshot casings. At crime scenes, both fired and unfired casings are commonly found, yet the recovery of fingerprints and the establishment of a connection between the shooter and the firearm remain persistently challenging tasks. This difficulty arises from the extreme conditions that projectile casings undergo during firing, as well as the methodologies employed for the creation and detection of fingermarks.
