I was at the range today. Being the brass monkey I am, I was going around picking up every useable piece of brass I could find. I shake the trash cans to see if anyone threw some brass in the trash can. On one I hit pay dirt and find two boxes full of brass. I think, "Wow, someone picked up after themselves and saved me the work." I see that there are some aluminum cases, but I can sort those out at home. It is mostly 40 S&W brass. I then look at the shipping label and start to laugh. I instantly thought about "Ballistic fingerprinting" (Junk science as it may be.:barf: ) and just had to share these photos.
Anyone can use range pickup brass to fool "ballistic fingerprinting". However if you really want to screw with the system, use use brass from guns owned by the F.B.I!!!!!!!!!!
The first box:
The second box:
Inside one of the boxes:
I can just see this going over well in the TV world, where this stuff actualy works. (Unlike the real world where it doesn't.) Imagine the CSI episode.
I have no idea why, but I think this is hilarious.

Tech: Well, we have narrowed down the list of possible suspects to 43 members of the Miami FBI, 25 other legaly owned guns, and 4 guns that were reported stolen.
