http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_cities_by_crime_rateNYC is actually really safe! ^^^
like the guy from Hill St. Blues said...let's be careful out there?
i'm pretty sure my buddy saw the cops picking some up- he was asking about firing pin marks.
i don't think he's shot one, because he was wondering what's left and how they trace it, like he'd never picked up a casing.
so, the cops usually pick them up, and hopefully someone calls the cops if there are a bunch lying around.
Chief Johnson at the hearing said something like 'we find them lying around all the time' which i took to mean there are lots of unreported shootings- lots of people won't even tell the cops who shot them, ya know?
thanks!
how does that work with a more modern gun than mine?
obviously you can pop the mag or cylinder out of a handgun, it must be pretty simple to pop the bolt out of an ar-15, right?
military design and all? (not meant to sound snarky!)

OP
I have never, ever, seen "casings on the streets of NYC", or in any city for that matter.

Release safety. Push out takedown pin (the bore brush is good for that). Pivot lower receiver...

There are something like 12K shootings with airguns each year in the FBI stats.
