Urine does not effectively remove gunshot residue (GSR) from the skin or surfaces. Gunshot residue is typically made up of microscopic particles that adhere to the skin or clothing after a firearm is discharged. While washing with soap and water is the most effective method for removing GSR, urine is not a suitable substitute for this purpose. For forensic purposes, proper decontamination procedures should be followed to minimize GSR contamination.

It may or may not tell whether YOU fired the gun.

Does dynamite have the same residue as gun shot residue?

No. Gunpowder (smokeless powder) has a different composition than dynamite. BOTH may contain some nitroglycerin, but there the formulas take different paths. However, there IS scientific testing for explosives residue as well as for gunshot residue. Since I work with explosives, this makes air travel and security screening an interesting event for me.
