Firing pin marks are impressions left on the primer of a cartridge case when a firearm is discharged. These marks are created by the firing pin striking the primer, igniting the gunpowder and leading to the discharge of the bullet. Forensic experts often analyze these marks to identify the specific firearm used in a shooting and to link it to other evidence in criminal investigations. The unique characteristics of firing pin impressions can assist in distinguishing between different firearms.
