Let me answer your question with a broad brush. The bullets recovered were of a .224 caliber. Some of the cartridges that could fire that bullet would be: 22 Hornet, 218 Bee, 222 Remington, 223 Remington (5.56 Nato), 222 Remington Mag, 22 PPC, 5.6 x 50 Mag, 219 Wasp, 219 Zipper, 225 Winchester, 224 Weatherby Mag, 22-250 Remington (which is my personal favorite) and the ever popular 220 swift. Each one of these cartridges can be chambered in many different makes and models of firearms. Ruger, Remington, Winchester, Sako, Colt, ect. The possible combinations are endless.

Now regarding the question of a "breakdown" rifle.

The are cute, but seldom work. Usually the point of impact will change every time you break it down and reassemble it. I'm aware of 2 exceptions to this rule, one cost $5,000 a copy, the other is the AR-15, M-16 class of fire arms. The upper and lower receiver can be seperated and but back together with no impact on accuracy. The barrel does not seperate from the upper reciever, so you larger piece is still 22" to 28" long, and would not fit in a typical book bag.
