What Does GSR Stand For?
GSR stands for Gunshot Residue
Gunshot Residue (GSR) refers to the microscopic particles that are expelled when a firearm is discharged. These residues typically contain elements such as lead, antimony, and barium, which are produced during the firing process. GSR analysis is commonly used in forensic science to determine whether a person has discharged a firearm or has been in close proximity to a shooting incident. It serves as critical evidence in criminal investigations and court proceedings.
