CSI on television has Hummers. Meanwhile, according to the print media, the lab is processing a ".22 caliber Winchester shotgun." A what???
At least Hummers actually exist.

"A .22-caliber Winchester shotgun rests just above the rusted hot plate in a nook of the LAPD's crime lab where Danny Woo watches the vapors from a couple drops of Super Glue raise the image of a fingerprint on the handle of the gun."

It could have been an over/under .22 cal/shotgun or a Winchester model 1906 pump .22 which looks similar to a standard pump shotgun.

Well, you can purchase little shot shells for a 22 rifle, primarily designed to shoot rats and mice in close, enclosed areas like a barn or a house. Uh oh -- Los Angeles? Mice? Say it's not so -- Run, Mickey, run!!!
