Abstract: The RM (Reference Material) 8240 standard bullets are currently under development at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to support the coming National Integrated Ballistics Information Network (NIBIN). A bullet signature measurement system based on a stylus instrument is developed at NIST for the signature measurements of RM standard bullets. A comparison parameter and an algorithm using autocorrelation functions are proposed for qualifying the bullet signature differences. Initial test results for the bullet signature measurement system are as expected from previous theoretical analyses. The proposed parameter and algorithm will be used in the analyses of results from the bullet signature measurement system for the quality control of NIST RM 8240 standard bullets.
