Such a situation occurred in the John F. Kennedy assassination case. During the Warren Commission Inquiry [1], a question arose as to whether the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle (recovered from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository Building) and Western Cartridge Co. bullets and fragments (of the type recovered from Governor Connally's stretcher and in the Presidential limousine) were capable of causing the wounds inflicted on President Kennedy and Governor Connally. A scientific solution of this problem was obtained within the framework of wound ballistics by the scientists of the Wound Ballistics Branch of the U.S. Army Chemical Research and Development Laboratories at Edgewood Arsenal, Md.

Various sources of error inherent in the test have been discussed and it has been concluded that although approximate, the test can serve the usefill purpose of providing a basis for interpreting the energy loss figures in gel on a rational and scientific basis.
