Albanian term or phrase: vijaskë
A forensics expert has examined a bullet and says:

... është predhë që është formuar në 6 vijaska, ku dy prej tyre janë pjesërisht të identifikueshme ...

Can't find the meaning of vijaskë - might have something to do with rifling - the grooves of the barrel of a gun?

Reference information:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifling
"In firearms, rifling is the helical groove pattern that is machined into the internal (bore) surface of a gun's barrel, for the purpose of exerting torque and thus imparting a spin to a projectile around its longitudinal axis during shooting. "

Also, check meaning 2 in the dictionary listing below.
