Firearms

On Wednesday, May 2, 2007, I and Isabelle listened to a lecture about firearms and Sir Florentino explained to us the Principle of Firearms Identification, Principles involved in Bullet Identification and Principles involved in Shell Identification. He also told us about the two general characteristics of firearms. Using a Bullet Comparison Microscope, we saw microscopic markings in a primers of a bullet shell. We saw the similarities or differences of the markings found in the primers.

Sir Art arrived at the agency when we were using and observing the microscope. He talked to Ma'am Vicky and to the personnels in the agency. After their talk, we also have some chit chat with Sir Art. He leave the agency before lunch since he need to visit PHO where Gino and Mark are.

In the afternoon, we observed gun firings. Since we were not allowed to fire gun ourselves, we observed Sir Jayger and Sir Florentino firing a gun.
