with difference to imp,
Does anyone here have any idea where the bullet picks up its "fingerprint"? I'll give you a clue... take an automatic pistol apart and hold that barrel in your hand. That's it... 100% of it. One piece that can be removed and replaced in less than 30 seconds... by anyone. No scrubbing or firing pin replacements necessary. Its akin to being able to pop your fingerprints off your hand and put them on someone else's without them knowing.
Wow... this one was better than "M-16 bullets are designed to be armor piercing".
It does highlight the major problem with most anti-gun regulations (and gun registration regulations) being introduced... they are being introduced by people who have no idea what they are talking about. No idea on the subject matter and no idea of the impact nor of the possible results. Imp highlights that to the n'th degree.

Sorry sox62, thought you were talking about those guns with fingerprint readers on it. You have to put your fingerprint in it for it to work.
The gun striation registry would not be very useful to catch smart criminals. They could erase them or sell the guns to someone.
MiniD, whats the standard bullet for the M16 in the military?
Heres a clue: Its made of hard metal. This type of bullet has collateral damage (eg. killing innocents) tattooed all over it if fired in a residential area.
You have the right to defend your house, not to kill innocents.
Im not talking about other types of bullets that are sold, since I dont know the types being sold. I imagine there are alot of types.
I was refering to military weapons and ammo. Like those AP bullets.
Striations on bullets come from the barrel being designed to make bullets spin, which gives a better trajectory(gyrostabilization). Firing and Ejecting also leaves marks on the casing (is that the correct word?).
Not everyone uses english in everyday life MiniD. I could use French, but I doubt you would understand
