Assuming you refer to a fired bullet, you would examine the bullet- measure it's diameter, length, weigh it, and compare those to known specimens. You would also examine the bullet for striations- markings made by the rifling inside the barrel. The number and direction of twist of the striations may indicate a particular make of firearm.
