    After test firing the guns, Goddard proved that the weapons were those used to kill the members of the North Side Gang, absolving the Chicago police department of all involvement. [12] The successful use of Goddard's technique resulted in the solidification of his place as the father of forensic firearm examination.

  3. Pensky–Martens closed-cup test - Wikipedia

    This allows the development of an equilibrium between the liquid and the air volume. The ignition source is directed into the cup at regular intervals with simultaneous interruption of stirring. The test concludes upon observation of a flash that spreads throughout the inside of the cup. The corresponding temperature is the liquid's flash point.

  4. Firearm malfunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearm_malfunction

    When the firearm is out-of-battery, the round is not fully chambered, or the bolt face is not against the rear of the cartridge, and if the round is fired in this situation, the case will fail, causing high-pressure hot gases, bits of burning propellant, and fragments of the casing itself to be thrown at high speed from the firearm.

  5. Small arms ammunition pressure testing - Wikipedia

    The test cartridge must be inserted into the chamber in such a way that the hole in the test cartridge case lines up with a gas port hole that channels the gas pressure from the cartridge case to the face of the sensor. The measurement accuracy of the pressure measurements with 21st century high-pressure sensors is expected to be ≤ 2%. [7]

    For this, a highly accurate and indisputable protocol has been defined by NATO experts using a system of reference cartridges. [1] [3] [4] The civilian organisations C.I.P. and SAAMI use less comprehensive test procedures than NATO, but NATO test centres have the advantage that only a few chamberings are in military use.

    A fire test is a means of determining whether fire protection products meet minimum performance criteria as set out in a building code or other applicable legislation. Successful tests in laboratories holding national accreditation for testing and certification result in the issuance of a certification listing .
