Well if they are not sure if the shooter was firing an AR-15 or Ruger mini-14 then I really have sme questions for the ballistics examiners. Do these bullets have a rifling twist rate of 1 in 14, 1 in 12, 1 in 10 or 1 in 9. I would suggest by measuring the twist rate of the rifling they should be able to determine the particular type of rifle used. Maybe it is none of the above.

If the investigators are saying the shooter switched guns perhaps the caliber used in the latest shooting is different. What have they really said about the latest shooting?

If the shooter switched guns, what does it mean to say there is a ballistic match?

I think they know which gun it is. They just haven't made it public (for some reason).
