submitted firearm or from the same unknown firearm. Fired cartridge cases from semi-automatic or fully automatic firearms can be imaged and compared for potential associations to other offenses utilizing the NIBIN (National Integrated Ballistic Information Network) database, which is owned and operated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and which FDLE is granted access for analysis purposes.

In order to collect firearm information remotely, Retriev-All is a mobile shooting range capable of collecting the shell casings. This allows the agencies to test recovered weapons at the scene of a crime. The mobility of this trailer greatly reduces turnaround time for processing evidence.
