Ballistic analysis is pseudoscience nonsense. A report from the National Academy of Sciences debunks nearly all fields of forensic "science", besides DNA analysis. Fingerprinting, shoe/tire print analysis, blood splatter analysis, bullet marking analysis, hair-matching microscopy, etc are literally all nonsense with no backing by peer reviewed science.

It's wild how many innocent people have died in prison because fake scientists were willing to swear an oath that their bullshit was real.
It's blood spatter.
