New Technology Revolutionizes Ballistics Testing and Forensic Firearms ID - Promises to Advance Public Safety and Homeland Security
Groundbreaking new technology that will help fight crime and promote national security is now in production. For the first time ever, crime labs and ballistics researchers can consistently capture perfectly intact bullets and slugs of any type, fired from any firearm, including hollow points and even high-explosive large-caliber military rounds. The Duke Projectile Recovery System holds enormous promise for advances in public safety, homeland security and the war on terrorism because its results are so vastly superior to those previously achievable.
