But one British researcher proposed that bullets be coated in pollen, “Pollen grains are sticky enough and have a sufficiently hard outer case to survive being fired. They also attach themselves to the clothing and hands of people who handle the ammunition and the gun, providing an additional forensics clue”(Wolf). This would allow a bullet manufacture to be identified quickly, possible a distributor and store. This would greatly help narrow the suspect pool. But many ammo manufactures probably…

The United States Army Air Defense Artillery had small but important roles in the Korean War. Although most the units were filling non-Air Defense roles, there are a few that set themselves above and beyond their sister units due to their actions. These units fulfilling roles other than air defense were using the M19 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage, which was a self-propelled anti-aircraft weapon. This weapon was based upon the M5 light tank chassis, but modified to fulfill the air defense role.…

billion a year (Follman, N.p). Why is the United States losing lives and money to gun violence? It is because guns are readily available in the United States and people with mental instability are able to purchase rapidly firing guns and high caliber ammunition. For example, in the United States, anyone 18 years or older who passes a minimal background check can buy a powerful .50-caliber rifle, which have been described as “ideal weapon of terrorist attack.” (Associated Press N.p). In a…

two-thirds of all Confederate field artillery was captured from the Union.[citation needed] The Confederate cannons built in the South often suffered from the shortage of quality metals and shoddy workmanship. Another disadvantage was the quality of ammunition. The fuses needed for detonating shells and cases were frequently inaccurate, causing premature or delayed explosions. All that, coupled with the Union gunners' initial competence and experience gained as the war progressed, led Southern…

Passing this law will help New Mexico in the instance…
