As Master Sorcerer Seamus O Lochlainn points out in the Randall Garrett
mystery _Too Many Magicians_, it's not relevant to a gun which bullets it
has fired, as the wear on a gun is primarily mechanical; but it is very
relevant to a bullet which gun fired it -- a point extremely important
to forensic ballistics whether thaumaturgical or not.
