Elemental analysis of bullet jackets can be done when a bullet has fragmented so that individual pieces cannot be used for comparison to test-fired ammunition from a firearm or in the absence of a firearm or the lead component of the bullet. This analysis may be helpful when there are multiple shooters and types of jacketed ammunition. Alloy classification can differentiate among bullet jacket alloys of different manufacturers or among the bullet jacket alloys in manufacturers' production lines.
