Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distribution of gunpowder particles and other discharge residues around a bullet hole is known as gunshot residue (GSR). The pattern of GSR can be studied to determine the distance from which the gun was fired. This information is important in criminal investigations as it can help to identify potential suspects or eliminate innocent parties. The other choices are not accurate because estimating the height of the shooter would require other evidence, determining the caliber of the bullet would require analysis of the bullet itself, determining the kind of firearm used would require additional evidence, and estimating the angle of bullet impact would require analysis of the trajectory of the bullet.
