How are bullet casings and bullets used to compare and identify guns used in crimes?

The barrel of a gun has lans and grooves that cause the bullet to spin. These grooves leave distinct markings on the bullet that are like a fingerprint. No two guns leave the same markings on a bullet. The bullet casings are marked by both the firing pin hitting the primer or case rim, and the extractor that grabs the case and ejects it from the weapon. These are also distinct, gun specific, markings.

What are metal bullet casings made of?
Many metals and alloys are used to manufacture bullets. The chief considerations are preservation of gun barrels, kinetic energy transfer (stopping power), penetration (a combination of hardness and weight) Some bullets are designed to penetrate others to shatter into flechettes. The steel or copper cladding is essential for this action. Common bullet metals are: * Copper casings with lead in the bullet itself * Various lead alloys without casings to improve ease of casting * Tungsten fo hardness and ecological sensitivity in military rounds * Bismuth for eco-sensitivity * Depleted Uranium for kinetic energy transfer * Iron or steel shot for shotgun pellets for eco-sensitivity
