He very well might, or he could have some semblance of that.

That would be what you have to have is a metallic body that will mark on brass, because this is brass.

It's one of the softest metals that's out there.

And people do engrave.

You know, soldiers have been doing it for years and years.

I wonder where you got this idea from.

But you know what I'm more interested in, Nancy?

Not just the engraving.

I'm fascinated by the fact that this guy, according to the presser, not only left engravings to mark these rounds, but he also left his DNA on specific components within the weapon, even the trigger, Nancy.

This guy's leaving signatures everywhere.

Yeah, I'm thinking, well, first off, they mentioned specifically the trigger housing.

And I say housing actually on the surface of the trigger.

So that's probably going to be touch DNA where you're pulling the trigger.

However, this weapon has what's referred to as an internal magazine.

It's not like the classic magazine kind of drops out and you have to feed it back in.

You literally, Nancy, have to take your thumb and press these rounds into that indwelling magazine.

So any of those surfaces around there where you're trying to leverage this thing, even on the surface of the bolt, the handle of the bolt, any of these areas, you can deposit DNA.

And let's face it, he had this thing wrapped in a towel.

He's got this thing in kind of a pristine condition he's left it in.

So, you know, they had a field day when they got their hands on this thing in the lab.
