Can you trace bullets like fingerprints?

[Concerned American]

I always cast my bullets out of ice, so they melt and can't be traced back to me.

Sometimes I put cherry-flavored Kool-Aid in them, so I can suck on them when I'm not shooting people.

LOL, we have big assed ice-cycles up here. I just run my victims through with 'em--no weapon, no evidence. Wait for spring and bury the corpse. Frozen all winter, no muss no fuss.

It wasn't him it was Javier Bardem.

Somewhere I read something about someone who killed somebody by jamming snow down their throat, blocking their trachea. By the time the snow melted, deadness.

That seems like a waste of good meat. We plant 'em up to their necks in the garden and harvest them in the Fall.

No, Benicio Del Toro was "The Collector" in Guardians of the Galaxy. I think.

My mistake--I'll have to watch that movie again. I have it confused with another.

You can do the same thing by by forcing water down their throat, then putting them in the freezer. By the time the water freezes, deadness. But it's a little slower.

That would work too. LOL

Thinks he came up with something profound.

Lol, not profound. That is something not seen nor understood by the common person. You being a retard is blatantly obvious. Hilarious

Can someone explain it to me how the police can trace bullets like fingerprints? And can you do it without the actual gun? Reason I'm asking is b/c in No Country For Old Men, lewelyn has a rifle and he's t he g ood guy,kinda. So why would he have a rifle to fight the bad guys when it could trace back to him? Many movies are like this.

Well, if you buy a box of bullets at a store, the gunpowder can have identifiers placed into it. Tie the identifiers to a lot#. Keep track of who buys what lot number... I'm sure there will be some constitutional challenge to this because as we all know, when gun nuts want to, they can expand the constitution to cover anything

Wow. there's that very meaningful word again. Have you ever counted the number of times in a single day that you have used that word, hoping that you could hurt someone's feelings with it?

You'll have to get some new material if you plan on actually insulting me.

Good luck.

As I understand it, from being a TV detective, they can match 2 bullets by the rifling marks they leave on the bullets. That way they can tell the bullets came from the same gun but, without the gun they can't trace those bullets back to the gun that fired them. Unless there is some 'rifling' data base I don't know about. Criminals use stolen guns that can't be traced to them typically.

There is a question on whether or not there is a database on the rifling of new firearms.
When you buy a new gun you often get an empty shell casing with it. They say it's just to show the firearm has been tested.
But is it the only round fired through it? Of course they can check the ballistics on the slug but they also check the empty casing for extraction marks and the firing pin mark.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

The barrel marks can easily be changed by slightly deforming the rifling by dragging or pushing something down the barrel thats hard enough to deform the rifling.
Same goes for extractor marks and firing pin marks.

Don't need new material. Retard is the perfect description for you. If it ain't broke Don't fix it.

Yes and no. I was asked to testify in a case...so, being me, I fucked with them.
I had 3 barrel blanks, from one 10' bar stock, rifled by Harry McGowan. The same button was used to rifle them.

The piglets had their meathead push several bullets through each blank, take the bullets to THE LAB and, of course, they couldn't tell which bullets came from which barrel.
The judge was irate.
I exsersplained to the dumb motherfucker that a dozen guns in order( by serial number) would have probably been pulled or broached with the same button or tooling and the balistics would be too similar to differentiate.
You could be 90+ % sure a bullet came from a specific piece with those tests(as long as the bullet didn't smash a bone, or a car door or or or...is it enough evidence alone to pluck a bullet from a corpse to put a dual citizen(insert slur here) in the Lincoln chair on it's own ?
You be the judge( pun much)

ADVICE to future hit men: When you buy, buy 3-4 with consecutive serial numbers

Will you have to kill me now?

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Will tou have to kill me now?

Only if you talk.

 

[Leo123]

Only if you talk.

In the words of Sgt. Schultz (Hogan’s Heros). I KNOW NOTHING!

 

[arnieisblack]

So do forensics need the exact gun to prove it was fired or can they do it with bullets alone?

 

[arnieisblack]

Watch this and see if it's right.

 

[arnieisblack]

Does it just let them know what kind of gun it is or does it trace back to the exact gun owned by the owner?
