The study of firearms, their classifications, parts, components, ammunition, lethality, among other aspects of forensic ballistics, plays a fundamental role in the fight against crime, especially against terrorism and organized crime. The objective of this essay is to expose the theoretical and conceptual elements in the investigation process of crimes in which the presence of a firearm is verified or its use is suspected, particulars that have been developed through the specialty. of ballistics and that require the domain of professionals who intervene in criminal proceedings. The investigation of crimes in which firearms are used in Ecuador has become a priority due to the increase in violence between the years 2020 and 2024, from which the theoretical results achieved are considered part of the fight against crime. Theoretical research methods such as analysis and synthesis, induction, deduction, from the abstract to the concrete and from the concrete to the abstract, among others, were used in the study. Finally, training based on the topics addressed is suggested to police investigators, experts, forensic doctors and other members of the “Comprehensive Specialized System of Investigation, Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences”.
