All such cartridges' headspace on the case mouth (although some, such as .38 Super , at one time seated on the rim, this was changed for accuracy reasons ...
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.

Inference about the source of gunshot residue can be based on the examination of the particles found on a suspect and the population of particles found on the victim, in the firearm or in the cartridge case, as suggested by the ASTM Standard Guide for gunshot residue analysis by scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry.
