TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Laser Trajectory Finder Kit 

Catalog No. LTF100

INTRODUCTION

Laser projection is the newest and most accurate method 

used to determine projectile trajectories at crime scenes. 

The laser is attached to a penetration rod, which is then 

inserted into a bullet hole so that the laser beam can help 

to determine the direction and angle from the source. It 

may also be used to locate bullet exit points and other pos-

sible impact locations. The laser may be used with penetra-

tion rods and centering cones inserted into bullet holes, or 

it may be used with the tripod mount to project its beam 

through bullet holes.
The No. LTF100 Laser Trajectory Finder Kit includes a 

high quality Laser Pointer, Centering Cones, Laser Con-

nectors, Universal Tripod Mount, Bullet Tips, Ballistic
