When the Firearms Section receives a gun in the lab, the gun is first checked for safety. If the gun is in proper working condition, the gun is fired into a large tank filled with water. The water slows down the bullet until it stops. Once the bullet and cartridge case from the gun has been collected, it is compared with bullets and cartridge cases used in other crimes.
