Objective evaluation of consecutively manufactured Glock Marksman Barrels using EvoFinder®

FBI Laboratory Firearms/Toolmarks Unit study of how Glock Marksman barrels are made and whether they leave subclass characteristics. Bullets fired from 10 consecutively manufactured barrels were scanned on Evofinder® to test whether each bullet is matched to its own barrel. With N-max added as a comparison criterion, known-match and known-non-match scores separated completely in additional regions, and examiners working on blind sets saw no false identifications caused by subclass carryover.
