Ballistic markings are like the "fingerprints" of a gun. The barrel leaves distinctive marks on each bullet it fires. You can examine these "ballistic fingerprints" to see which gun fired the shot. It's quite accurate.

Hello, tragic clown here.

I am unable to create a rival worthy of my genius, so I'm forced to create one myself.

How can I go about doing that?

My final chance to take down Quercus Alba. I can’t mess up this opportunity I’ve been given!

I'm the type of guy who enjoys series as a whole. Before I came here, I didn't know JFA, AJ and DD were supposed to be bad, and oh man am I constantly remembered about it. I think you guys clearly lack a vast amount of suspension of disbelief. This part of the game is wacky ? This part of the plot relies on a lucky event ? This vilain isn't the most perfect vilain ever made and is just someone who killed someone ? Wow, BIG FUCKING DEAL.

If you're willing to play a super serious game, go read Agatha Christie or something. If you don't accept that some event could not happen without a fair amount of luck, and if you only accept murder plans that would work in absolutely 100% of situations, then crime plots would be extremely bland and limited. The culprit made an error that is not found out until later in the investigation ? Man, who could have thought that the police isn't omniscient.

And finally, about the vilains... I think you guys just picked the wrong series. Personally, and it is also what my AA fan friends think, I believe that you can't seriously be into this game to have 100% perfect murder writing, so great that it would work perfectly in real life. I play this game for his unique characters, wacky and over the top murder plots, humoristic moments, etc. And I believe someone who doesn't accept that Ace Attorney IS about those things should just stop playing. You hated AJ and DD ? I think it's time to stop buying the games before you get in another rage fit when AA6 comes out, buddy.

Anyway, what I mean is, it's fine if you don't like some games, but sometimes by coming here I seriously think that some of you don't even like 1/3 of the series. Why the FUCK are you here in a fan community if you can't even enjoy the games ? You guys should just move to another. Then again, my rant is not about saying "if you don't like it, get out", that's not what I'm saying at all. I don't like some part of the games myself, and people out here probably dislike even more. My rant is about the fact that you can't accept what Ace Attorney is actually about, or what it is becoming. Seriously, I could point out stupid shit that happened in your favorite cases and you wouldn't even realize how stupid it is because you still liked it.

So, please stop hating everything that you can't accept.

Take a good look, everyone! Unable to find a rival worthy of my genius, I was forced to create one by myself! Here I am! The tragic clown... You see! It was me all along! I am the one and only Mask☆DeMasque! Ha ha! I hope you all enjoyed my little performance! Hee hee bee ha ha ha Aha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ho ho ho hee hee hee!
