Some folks call a .380 Auto a “38”.

“Police recovered approximately 20 shell casings that appeared to have been fired from an assault rifle, as well as ashell casing from a .45-caliber weapon a .38-caliber handgun.”

how do you tell the shells were from an “Assault rifle”?

Are they somehow marked in a way that is unknown to me?

Assuming 7x62 x 39 - I know of pistols, single shot, bolt action etc, etc in that caliber. There are even semi-auto rifles in that caliber as well.

Does the selctor switch, putting the weapon on full-auto (fun mode) cause a change in the shells?

I’m so confused now....
