The first thing we need to do, is to establish a case for there 'being' such a marked 'feature' on at least one of the 'recovered' bullet cases of which there were a total of 25?
In each 'new' full load of the anshuzt rifles ammunition magazine, only one of the 'brass' cartridge cases rests against the steel 'spring mechanism' plate, causing the plate to leave at first a fine scratch type mark along the brass cartridge case, where both the cartridge and the follower plate first come into contact with one another. When the magazine is empty the steel follower plate is at its highest position inside it. With the first insertion of a round, the bullet is pressed into the magazine and comes into direct contact with the aforementioned steel plate. The spring intensified plate is forced downward with the insertion of the very first bullet by a process of dynamic tension, which 'increases each time an additional bullet is inserted into the magazine. The 'pressure' which exists between cartridge and follower plate, alters with every load of additional rounds, until by the time the magazine has been loaded with 10 bullets, the 'pressure' is at its greatest between the aforementioned plate and the first loaded cartridge. This pressure involving contact between steel and brass is not replicated anywhere else inside the ammunition magazine, because with the exception of the last 'loaded' round of 10 into the magazine, all other brass cartridges, are brass against brass contact (rounds 2 to 9). The 10th cartridge does not have contact marks with another similar cartridge above and below, whereas, cartridges 2 to 9, do...
