ballistics expert
Bullet path analyst
A ballistics expert analyzes firearms, ammunition, and projectile behavior—typically for forensic or legal purposes.
They examine bullet trajectories, match bullets to weapons, and interpret gunshot residue patterns.
The ballistics expert testified that the fatal shot came from the defendant's rifle.
In crime dramas, they're the ones who determine that two bullets came from the same gun.
