I'd like to see a cop show that applies that level of writing to guns.

A: What can you tell me about the bullet you recovered from the victim?

B: It's a handgun round, caliber 9x19 inch, solid steel frangible hollow-point. Fired with a muzzle velocity of 100 joules, one of these can punch through an inch of hardened RHA like wet toilet paper.

A: 100 joules?! Jesus Christ, that's enough to kill someone!

B: Exactly. This is the kind of bullet only a professional would use. Thankfully the firing pin left an imprint on the bullet; if we can find the shop that sold the gun they can tell us who fired it.

A: Only one shop in LA carries weapons that powerful. Let's go.
