I mean, if someone uses a Steyr AUG, or an AR with an HK416 upper, or a SCAR, or a Springfield Professional 1911 in home defense shooting, is the police department going to procure a gun of that type to compare it with the one used in the shooting, and do they even have somone who knows enough about the gun who can ascertain if the gun is within factory specs?
