Recent years have seen a rapid increase in use of improvised, homemade, re-activated, and converted firearms among criminals and terrorists [1 –4]. One may find improvised pen-guns, mole-guns, pistols, revolvers, shot-guns, rifles, and even submachine-guns and machine-guns [5–9]. Most available studies by law-enforcement authorities and forensic laboratories address changing trends, increase in quantity, improvised firearm properties a nd features, and traditional firearms examination (comparing bullets and cartridge cases to the suspected weapon) [2,4,5,11].
