Error: Right Turn Signal Out

Hey, what the hell???


What's that thing in there?


Okay...





Is this a bullet? The only other thing I can think of is that it's a rivet or something. I did have it in a repair shop (unrelated reasons) the day before.

Those are speed holes op, it's supposed to be like that. And the metal ting is an anti-tamper device, your insurance company is probably already on their way to beat you with sticks.

My guess based on the shape of the hole and the fact that it stopped inside a plastic housing:

Celebratory gunfire. One round came down on your tail light. You probably don't have an enemy on the loose, but someone in your community is a reckless moron.

Yep, that's a bullet.

The fact that it only went through the plastic cover of your light before stopping probably means it was fired from really far away, or was a falling round like a previous poster said.

Measure the diameter of the base so we can know what caliber.

On most handgun ammo, the copper jacket doesn't cover the base of the projectile so the base of most handgun bullets will look like that. Total metal jacket (TMJ) handgun bullets will usually have a flat bottom and be completely covered in copper.

Yeah, that adds up.

It's deer season up here, but that wouldn't explain a pistol round.

So someone shot up in the air and it came down and hit a vertical (?) surface? I’m with you on wondering why it stopped where it did but the bullet wouldn’t have deformed like that unless it hit something somewhat hard while moving very fast. Plus the angle problem.

I think it went through something else then hit the light, maybe another car.
