Ballistics is the applied science of the behavior of projectiles, such as bullets and artillery shells.

In police forensics, ballistics is the specific field of identifying bullets and their sources. Since every firearm leaves a distinctive pattern of marks on a bullet, it is like a "fingerprint" in a court of law, an undeniable link between a projectile and the weapon that fired it.

"Mr Freestone was elimimated as a suspect in the murder when ballistics tests proved that the fatal bullet had not been fired from his gun."
