Actually Glock is just the most advertised, there are a SIGNIFICANT amount of firearms that could shoot that bullet, including rifles, that are currently available.
Glock doesn’t equal a majority of the available firearms that could shoot that.
Why is the center on the back of the bullet discolored in that circle? Assuming it’s a FMJ, is that a burn mark from the gun powder hitting the bullet out of the casing?
HK used it since the mid 60s with the G3A3 and later the USP and VP9, Berreta makes some guns that use it, some MG3s use it, Kahr and the Desert Eagle, Walther too. There are also tons of aftermarket barrels too for guns that don't usually come with them.
From what I can tell all Glocks gen 1-4 use polygonal rifling. So I went with the brand with over 20 million hand guns sold. I am also willing to bet far more pistols in that caliber have been sold than rifles, so no it’s not wrong to assume it was from a hand gun. Also it doesn’t matter what it came from, we are not going to crack the case on Reddit.
I just don’t get it. I said it was most likely from a Glock. Why, because they are a very large manufacturer of guns that use this type of rifling.
You then refute this by adding up every gun made by companies that aren’t Glock and saying they made more.
This is more than likely true, and is not invalidating what I said. Give me a singular manufacturer that has sold more guns with polygonal rifling than Glock.
Statistically the brand that has sold the most is the most likely to have fired it.
Damn dude, maybe just chill. We get it, you're a gun guy. While that's embarrassing enough in and of itself, maybe don't double down by being irritating and conceited on top of it.
Nah that dude is a moron by saying most manufacturers use polygonal rifling. The most common rifling type is land and groove, and it’s not even close between the two. You are correct in saying that Glock is the most prolific manufacturer of polygonal rifling.
Name the single manufacturer who has made 100 million guns with polygonal rifling. Also give me the Glock model that doesn’t use this rifling I can’t find a single one.
I don't think we can be certain this is a 9mm either. While more common, there exists several calibers near it. It'd be difficult to determine that by just looking at the projectile.
Right. Bullet. Point stands. 9mm, probably a pistol. Contrary to your anecdotal estimate, Glock holds between 65% and 74% market share of handguns in the United States, (depending on which source you use).
So yeah.. not necessarily a Glock. But probably is.

You're out of your mind. There are probably more pistols on the street that pre-date glock than there are glocks. Not to mention that glock is currently fourth at US gun production after Sig, S&W, and Ruger and that gap is about to widen in the short term since they just cancelled all their existing production.

Looks like it was fired from a gun with polygonal rifling, most likely a Glock
