In details obtained from the South African Police Services National Firearms Center and given over the telephone, Pistorius applied for licenses for a Smith & Wesson model 500 revolver, a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver, a Vector .223-caliber rifle and three shotguns: A Mossberg shotgun, a Maverick shotgun and a Winchester shotgun.

Defence lawyers have not yet explained why Mr. Pistorius had the hollow-point bullets in his gun, although he is known to be a passionate gun collector. The expanding bullets, manufactured by U.S. company Winchester, under the Ranger brand name, were of the type previously known as Black Talons because of their six razor-sharp claws that unfold on impact.
They are not illegal in South Africa, but are far from common here, although U.S. police forces often use them. Expanding bullets, sometimes known as dum-dum bullets, were banned from use in international warfare under the Hague Convention of 1899.

Reeva Steenkamp was killed by 'Ranger' bullets which tear in to human tissue in a way designed to inflict maximum damage, the trial of Oscar Pistorius was told.
Professor Gert Saayman said the 29-year-old model was hit three times by bullets which are designed to "open up, flatten out and mushroom when striking human tissue."

The former police boss said of the gun, which lies on top of the bathmat: It is still cocked, the hammer is pulled back.
On the side of the Parabellu pistol is stamped: PT917 CS CAL 9mm PARA.

Van Rensburg described a picture of a silver handgun found lying on a grey towel, with a cellphone underneath it and blood.
"The safety clip had been removed. That firearm as it is lying there, it is ready to fire," said Van Rensburg, the first policeman at the scene on the morning of Valentine's Day 2013.

There were also spent bullet casings, cellphones and a blood-soaked towel on the bathroom floor, along with the cricket bat Pistorius says he used to break down the toilet door to get to Miss Steenkamp.

The Oscar Pistorius murder trial has heard that a ballistics expert at the crime scene handled the gun found there without wearing gloves.
The trial will eventually come around to the ballistics. Discuss the ballistics, firearms and firearm paraphernalia such as holsters, cartridges, bullets, trajectories, etc. here on this thread...
