More About Our Experts 

At Ballistic Headquarters Pty Ltd, our experts represent the pinnacle of knowledge, precision, and innovation in the firearms and forensic sciences. We are a multidisciplinary team of forensic ballisticians, engineers, researchers, historians, and technical specialists united by a shared pursuit of excellence. Every member of our organisation contributes verified qualifications, practical field experience, and peer reviewed research that defines the industry benchmark for forensic and ballistic capability in Australia.

The Team

Senior Ballistician – Creator of the Rooster Projectile
Our in-house ballistician is an accomplished designer, forensic consultant, and project engineer recognised for the creation of the Rooster Projectile, a purpose-engineered round that demonstrates exceptional consistency, controlled expansion, and energy transfer. This development has informed practical testing protocols and forensic reference models used across both civilian and professional applications. Their work bridges applied science and real-world performance, advancing terminal ballistics research and the reliability of small-arms data collection.

​

Forensic Ballistics Specialists
Our forensic experts deliver authoritative, evidence-based assessments for courts, law enforcement agencies, and defence clients. With decades of combined experience in projectile analysis, trajectory reconstruction, gunshot residue testing, and toolmark identification, they produce scientifically defensible reports that meet admissibility standards in multiple jurisdictions.

​

Firearms Engineers and Testing Specialists
Our engineering division conducts advanced diagnostics and performance validation across a wide spectrum of weapon platforms. With a background in precision machining, additive manufacturing, and tolerance analysis, our engineers design and test components to ensure safety, integrity, and optimal functionality under a range of operational conditions.

​

Additive Manufacturing Researchers
Recognised as leaders in the forensic investigation of 3D-printed firearms, our researchers are pioneering methods for digital traceability, feature extraction, and blueprint identification. Their current PhD-level studies explore the intersection of additive manufacturing, digital forensics, and regulatory science to strengthen forensic readiness and policy development worldwide.

​

Edged Weapons and Historical Arms Experts
Our heritage consultants and weapons craftsmen bring decades of combined experience in the study, restoration, and evaluation of antique and edged weapons. With curatorial ties to South Australian museums, their appraisals and conservation work have informed institutional acquisitions and national historical collections.

​

Range Design and Safety Engineers
Our range safety experts have designed, assessed, and certified ballistic containment systems across government, military, and civilian facilities. Their work includes risk modelling, acoustic studies, environmental assessments, and design audits for both indoor and outdoor shooting complexes.

​

Impact and Terminal Ballistics Analysts
Using high-speed imaging, calibrated media, and mathematical modelling, our analysts quantify projectile penetration, deformation, and energy dispersion. Their work supports forensic reconstruction, protective material testing, and defence system evaluation.

​

Veterinary and Ethical Use Advisors
Our advisory partners provide scientifically validated and ethically grounded guidance for firearm-based euthanasia within research and animal management settings. All recommendations adhere to current legislation and uphold the principles of humane, lawful, and responsible practice.
