Summary:

"New forensic science database will provide a statistical foundation for more reliably linking bullets to the guns that fired them."

...

" ”Researchers are developing statistical methods for quantifying that uncertainty, and the main obstacle they face is a lack of sufficient data. This month NIST released the largest open-access* database of its kind—the NIST Ballistics Toolmark Research Database—to help remove that obstacle."
