Abstract
The paper discusses the basic categories of concept, subject, objectives, and objects specific to the forensic examination of melee and throwing weapons. The concept of forensic examination of melee and throwing weapons is articulated based on the definition of the forensic theory of
melee and throwing weapons, as well as general principles of criminalistics and modern weapons science. Examination objectives are divided into three groups: classification, diagnostic, and grouplevel
identification. The paper concludes with a brief overview of the relationship of this forensic discipline with other sciences and its future development prospects
