Automated Firearms Identification (AFI) refers to a set of technologies and processes used to analyze, store, and match ballistic evidence from firearms. This involves the collection of markings left on bullets and cartridge cases when a firearm is discharged. Each firearm produces unique marks, making it possible to identify the weapon used in a crime based on the ballistic evidence recovered at the scene.
