Sinking Island Hints
How do I know which rifle was used?
1 of 5: The way to check whether a gun has been recently fired is to wipe its barrel to check for powder.
2 of 5: There's an item nearby you can use to wipe the barrel -- Walter loved cleaning his guns, after all.
3 of 5: Check the right drawer. Inside you will find a rag and some oil.
4 of 5: Use the rag on the barrels of both of the 270 Winchester rifles, and Jack will determine which is the relevant piece.
