Abstract. In the production of munitions, with a view to their subsequent differentiation according to fields of application (civil and military ammunition) in developed countries, it is customary to use a label. Rare natural elements are usually used as such labels. The big drawback of these materials is their toxic effects on the human body. Despite the differences in the technology of domestic manufacturers of gunpowder, we have attempted to solve the problem of differentiation of gunshot products, using model mixtures containing carbon nanotubes (CNTS). As shown by the results of studies of model compounds, CNTS are sufficiently resistant to high temperatures. Study of the products of combustion of gunpowder and carbon nanotube material has been conducted using an atomic force scanning device SolverPro.

Key words: forensic investigations, gunshot product, carbon nanomaterials, electron microscopy, model blend.
