I want to ask something about police investigation. You know that if you use gun to murder someone, police is able to find bullet and compare it with barrel of your gun. So if they find that bullet is from my gun they arrest me of course due to clues on bullet.

This is just scenario not truth :), so take it with moderation.

BUT, WHAT IF I USE SHOTGUN?

IS POLICE ABLE TO TELL THAT SHOTGUN AMMO IS FROM MY SHOTGUN? OR IT IS IMPOSSIBLE? YOU KNOW SHOTGUN AMMO IS NOT SINGLE BULLET IT IS LOT OF SMALL FRAGMENTS.
 
Don't even bother to try, they'll track you down with super technology.
Spoiler!

One can answer this with a simple sequence of questions and answers.

Q. How do they match a bullet to a gun?
A. By comparing rifling marks on the projectile used in the crime to those on projectiles fired from the suspected murder weapon.

Q. Does a shotgun have rifling?
A. No.
They can also identify the markings your firing pin leaves on the case. ;)
