Question

FORENSIC SCIENCE What do you do if the gun is submerged in water when you collect it?

Answer 1

The finger prints should still be on there if it wasn’t in the water for long. If it was in there for a long time they could possibly find a barcode to the gun

Answer 2

Fingerprints are still recoverable for long lengths of time, about 6 weeks, so you would still have the fingerprint ( no DNA profiling ) so you would likely be fine if it wasn't there for long.
