Forensic testing. Bullets fired from the weapon can be matched to those found at the crime scene. Shell casing can also be matched up.

However, if the gun wasn't fired, it would be close to impossible to prove that it has been used to commit a crime.

That person has obviously never heard of paper patching,using a rifle of revolver,or cleaning your gun...Creativity triumphs over technology anyday...
