    Ballistics report is typewriting report after a critical study of specimen, physical examination and observation of
    striations through the bullet comparison microscope. Report writing is a basic activity in a police work, thus for
    every police action there must be a corresponding report reaction.

    Preparation of a Report

    This forensic firearms examiner, before preparing ballistics report in report writing, he should have
    already an idea, to include the familiarization of six points of investigation. One of this is to ascertain whether a
    particular firearm submitted for ballistics examination is in working condition. This includes also the examination
    of the said firearm, whether it was recently fired, and is subject to the examination by the Chemistry section.

    When a firearm is submitted for examination, it is important to know whether the condition of the firearm
    is serviceable. It is also important that in misfired ammunition, it should be compared with the test fired
    ammunition, since there is firing pin tip marked created in the misfired cartridge, while there are static or exerted
    force marks on the test cartridge case.

    In a fragmentized bullet, a part of it is submitted to the forensic firearms examiner, to determine if that
    fragment is part of the bullet. At the same time, take note of the individual characteristics of the firearm and
    compare it with the recognized standard.

    Enumerate the seven problems or purposes in firearms identification
