Well, one possibility is that they only have one piece of untraceable evidence to dump based on the ballistics. The weapon may be the only thing they can tie to each crime.

I know this defies what little I know about ballistics but is it possible that they have 2 or several weapons tooled exactly the same which would produce a ballistics match??

You weapons guy are going to clobber me on this aren't you??

Sac, I am not sure that it is only one weapon. I know "they" (Moose, et al) are talkin' 'bout ballistics and all that, but now need to parse every statement made to us.

Wonder how I ever got the idea I had to do that?

Anyway, I do not remember being told definitively that the shooter(s) are using the exact same weapon for every shot. Yet most seem to be taking this for granted. Could those of you who do, please explain to those of us who are "trust-defiicent"?
