Can flintlocks or antique firearms be traced?

>>34965287
No.

>>34965303
Source?

>>34965319
Black powder guns don't even need a 4473. There's nothing to trace, AFAIK.

>>34965287
I smell a 14 year old antifa fag trying to find ways to murder without consequence.

>>34965355
As I understand, forensics has to do with rifling of the recovered round, right? So if its a smoothbore then it can't really be traced except the manufacturer of the ball and the powder?

>>34965287
what like have the projectile matched to the gun?
very unlikely aide from caliber.
some antique guns are unique enough to be identified if they were stolen, but that's about it

>>34965355
They aren't even legally firearms. A 5 year old could buy one

>>34965380
Good, watch him remove his hands lmao

>>34965380
No I'm middle aged and no enemies, not a psycho or a murderer either. I'm just curious thats all

>>34965384
matching rifling rarely works, and flatly doesn't work with shotguns or sabots. they may be able to match the lead from barrel scrapings but that's a long shot too.

>rifling
>on a smooth bore gun

>>34965287
you'll have powder all over your hands and if arrested as a suspect thats exactly what they'll test for
combine that with the unusual choice of weaponry and its as if you had "FUCK ME" tattooed on your forehead

>>34965287
>no background check
>no serial number
>some don't even have rifling

>>34965405
Not planning on it

>>34965384
Matching rifling is a TV meme, it's at the very best saying "this bullet came out of a gun with rifling that kind of looked like this".

It's not hard science, many bores look alike, and they actually change as you shoot them, blow through just a few hundred rounds and it'll no longer match.

nobody plans on getting pinched after they do the deed. they plan on getting away. the problem is always that they never plan it out far enough.

>>34965450
No they could detect powder on it

No faggots here get any ideas, this is only food for thought.

>>34965481
Even if they detect powder, that wouldn't mean they could tell what gun it is, or who has it. They can deduce that a gun was involved.

>>34965517
They could figure out who made it based on chemical composition

>>34965528
>well, it was this really common powder that literally anyone could have bought at any time

>>34965287
>>34965355
Did you buy it for cash in a gun shop that for some reason doesn't have any security cameras? No? Then it can be traced.

>>34965517
it only has to be beyond a reasonable doubt in a criminal case, or a preponderance of the evidence in a civil matter
you're the only faggot with black powder on his shirt and it was a black powder crime ipso facto dont bend over to pick up the soap

>>34965814
I could easily have been shooting my blunderbuss recreationally.

>>34965402

unless they get your payment history.

"Let's see now 400 to traditions.... I wonder if he has a BP gun?"

If you bought on amazon? Well lad, you are well and truly fucked.

If you bought in cash from store or gunshow? You're probably better off.

>>34965384
soft lead projectile (as in BP) would also make it harder.
