In recent years, there has been a meteoric rise in media cases and requests for expertise related to the manufacture, possession, trafficking or use of a 3D-printed firearm. To respond to this phenomenon, a specialized team on 3D-printed firearms has been created within the Ballistics Department, in partnership with the Chemistry and Forensic Intelligence Departments of the Laboratoire de sciences judiciaires et de médecine légale.
The purpose of this presentation is to provide an update on the situation in Quebec concerning 3D-printed firearms, and the various challenges posed by these weapons from a scientific point of view. The mandate of the specialized team, the data gathered from ballistics expertise, the challenges associated with the increasing complexity of cases and the application of legal texts, as well as a real case will be presented.
