Audio recordings of gunshots may be used with other forensic evidence to identify or eliminate gunshot source locations, to establish certain attributes of the weapon fired, and/or elucidate or eliminate certain physical parameters of the gunshot surroundings.

This paper presents a general overview of the gunshot acoustics and reviews three cases involving gunshot acoustics.
