Default Anyone know anything about guns/bullets?

I need some help here. Today I found 2 bullets on the ground.

They both have inscriptions on the back.
The first one says: W-W 32 Auto
and the 2nd one says: Winchester 40 Saw

Anyone know what guns these are from? I heard that the Winchester is like an old gun or something... Maybe theyre worth something?

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.32_ACP

Quote:
The .32 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) pistol cartridge is a semi-rimmed, straight-walled cartridge developed by firearms designer John Browning, for use in semi-automatic pistols. It is also known as the 7.65 x 17 mm Browning or 7.65 Browning. Introduced in 1899 by Fabrique Nationale, the cartridge was first used in the Browning M1900.

Design

It was designed for early blowback semi-automatic pistols which lacked a breech locking mechanism; the relatively low power of the .32 ACP round made it a practical blowback round.

It is still used today in blowback semi-automatic pistols, as well in modern locked-breech, single column magazine, deep-concealment, semi-automatic pistols.

Cartridges in .32 ACP are also sometimes used in caliber conversion sleeves, also known as supplemental chambers, for providing an alternative pistol caliber carbine functionality in .30-caliber hunting rifles.
Your other bullet comes from a Winchester Model 1894.

Read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchester_rifle


ps - I don't know if the above information is correct.
I just pasted your findings into Google and went to the Wikipedia links. <.<

Hmm, Would either bullet be worth money? (The ACP Bullet is UNUSED/LIVE, but the winchester one has been fired)

I think not, simply because they're each only ONE bullet, and not, like, a case or something. But then, I could be wrong.

Not worth anything. A spent cartridge is useless unless it's from like the 1800's or something. The W-W 32 Auto sounds like it's from a pistol. I'll have to ask my dad if I remember.
