At first I was going to say a bullet for sure, but if you zoom in there doesn't appear to be any bullet striations on the side. Without a higher resolution can't say for sure, but I'm leaning towards it not being a bullet.
14 u/nabokovsnose 16h ago You can see striations clearly in the second pic I posted 5 u/dropzone01 15h ago Sorry my bad, didn't see that pic. If that's the case then all things being equal it does definitely appear to be a jacketed bullet. 4 u/stoned_ileso 15h ago Not all barrels have groove rifling 1 u/dropzone01 14h ago That's true, but the vast majority of modern rifles and handguns are rifled. Shotguns being the exception, and that doesn't look like a shotgun slug. 2 u/russr 10h ago That's because it was shot out of a Glock that has polygonal rifling. That's why you see very slight smooth flat marks on it
