Kaleidoscope Shooting Reconstruction Kit – Spartan
The Kaleidoscope Shooting Reconstruction Kit – Spartan is the entry level kit within the Kaleidoscope Shooting Reconstruction System.
Invented and designed by Dr. Laura Pettler, this kit is built for two purposes: field based shooting scene reconstruction and courtroom demonstratives.
In the field, the system supports method driven bullet trajectory visualization and scene orientation. In court or training environments, it functions as a clear, structured demonstrative to communicate reconstruction principles and investigative findings.
This is a professional system intended to help users show their work, not simply state conclusions.
The Spartan kit establishes the baseline components of the Kaleidoscope Shooting Reconstruction System. The Fusion and Clarion kits expand capability through additional laser differentiation and expanded dowel options for complex scenes and advanced demonstrative applications.
