Abstract
The question of ''accepted uniqueness'' of several types of GSR partic les is discussed. Based on our experience, we propose to include GSR p articles formed in firing the Sellier Bellot, Prague (SBP) ammunition in the group of ''unique'' GSR particles. With the advent of autosearc h systems for GSR analysis in crime labs, a better statistical basis f or the extent of uniqueness of various types of GSR particles may be a chieved.
