Good question: how do they recover high power rifle
bullets for forensic comparison test?
I know you can use balistic's jelly but that deforms the bullet as if it went into a body so I dont know if that would work. I would thing you would want an undeformed bullet to get the best look at it for marking's.
Maybe if they break the surface tension of the water? Think high diving. With flat water you will get hurt but if you turn on a pump that make's a stream, like a fountian, onto the water it breaks the surface tension and the high diver is uninjured. So perhaps if you broke the surface tension you could fire it.
