Analyze Bullets Record For Free

The bullet as in projectile fired from a gun? No. The only way a projectile can be traced back to a particular firearm is if a recovered projectile is in a mostly intact condition. It can be slightly deformed at the tip, but the base and shank must be intact for microscopic comparison.

Bullets fired from guns have distinct markings, as unique as fingerprints. Once the state lab has one bullet, all they need is a gun, a test fire, and time to compare the two projectiles. Almost every bullet fired from a gun, can be traced back to that gun using a microscope.

While the projectiles cannot be traced, the ejected shells can be matched to the gun that fired them, thanks to the pattern of scratches left on the brass base of the shell by the gun and the marks on the primer left by the firing pin.
