A Bullets List

SINCE THE 1930S, police investigators have studied bullets to find key evidence. At a crime scene, investigators would retrieve any bullets and cartridge cases, and take them to police labs. There, firearms examiners would place the bullets and cartridge cases under a special microscope to compare the marks left by the firing gun on each. They would take snapshots and distribute them to local police departments. When police recovered a gun, they could discharge it to compare the markings left on bullets and casings against those in that collection of snapshots.
