How police trace bullets

[suntzu]

Fun fact: Smooth bore guns like shotguns don’t leave any significant ballistic traces especially with buckshot, birdshot or any other scatter shot type of ammunition.

New barrell New mag./ Fire pin... the new barrel gives the bullet a new finger print! Boom

Social medias made people way too comfortable just talking out of their ass, people used to do research before posting shit like this online

It’s called barrel rifling. It helps stabilize the flight and trajectory of your bullet flow.

[Uhhhiguess]

the rifling isn’t there to trace the bullet back to the handgun. It’s there to add “spin” to the bullet, making the bullet travel at a faster speed

[hhjj]

Basically as long as the cops don't get the gun they can never prove you did it or that gun was involved with that murder but once they do get the gun like he said in the video there's rifling but you would need the bullet out of the victim and the firearm that shot the bullet after that they can also track you by the firing pin because those are unique too

[iamheheisi]

When somebody thinks they know what they are talking about 😂

Bullets get smashed up from impact, especially if it’s a hollow. It’s the primer strikes on the shells that put 2 and 2 together

Shell catcher and gloves when loading the mag, then once you done what you need you swap the barrel, they have no casings so only the projectile will have ballistic traces which will be different from what the new barrel you have is

[tellyomaw]

It’s called rifling. And the actually use the shells to trace ammo. The firing pin leaves a pretty unique indentation as well. Not like the rifling. But can help confirm a gun that was used with the projectile and shell

[f.chrisliuzzo]

Rifling leaves grooves on bullet. Every gun has a specific type of rifling done to it. When the barrel is rifled at the factory the rifling broach leaves slightly different marks from gun to gun. Those specific marks are unique to each barrel, bolt and receiver of said specific gun. That’s how they match bullets to guns.

Homie is talking out his ass, that shit can't even be used in court.

So if u spinning buy an extra barrel & use it for drilling. Swap back when you’re done & clean up the GP residue. (I’m not talking from experience)

[Fjay]

Micro stamping on the firing pin, they can track a weapon just from the ejected casings.

[glo]

What he’s tryna say is don’t use your legal gun for anything on offence

[LEGALGHOSTGUNZ]

The firing pen is more important than the barrel. It leaves a literal stamp on the casing.

[TherestorationofMaat]

No way they’re finding bullets that are intact enough to analyze the rifling marks, I believe they check the back of the shell casing to find patterns were the striker or hammer hit the casing, but they also need your gun to analyze that

[aldjdbjsksbh]

The bullet itself can’t be matched up with the barrel only the shell casing.
The bullet’s shape gets changed way too much to be able to compare

[rolandsemien]

It’s the pin striking the shell bro that’s why the shells are important to match to the gun

[DTCHFOOL]

Just don’t let them get ahold of your weapon. No worries. They don’t have that on file. They gotta have your gun to match the threads.
