how does one look at a fired round, presumably beat to shit from impact, and trace it back to a origin? unless this is people assuming the entire round fires and have no understanding?
5 seconds of reading and critical thinking would dismiss what you linked. The posted article is for linking bullets to found guns. They didn’t seem to find the guns. Just the bullets.
Also like much of forensics, forensic tool mark and bullet mark analysis is crock full of shit. Like much forensics, attempts to ground it in robust reproducable controlled science and statistical work has fared poorly. I would not rely on it for this or really anything.
And it doesn’t answer the question. Examination of the bullet can tell you something about what kind of gun barrel it was fired from. It cannot tell you that the ammunition itself is “Israeli military grade” unless Israel is doing something unusual with the composition of their bullets. As that page says (under the Criticisms section), comparative bullet lead analysis is not necessarily a reliable indicator of where the bullet was manufactured.
I sort of think that staring at bullet striations is basically tea leaf reading, but even if you think it’s perfectly reliable, without a suspect weapon to compare to it can only tell you what kinds of gun barrels could have fired the shot.

It was a kosher bullet obviously.
This took 5s to find using DDG

Are you AI?
Because it took you 5s to find an incorrect answer and confidently link to a Wikipedia article, that doesn’t answer the question.
