Yes, but it is extremely difficult.

DNA gets trapped inside the gun, particularly around the trigger, magazine and muzzle, as well as other internal parts such as springs.

When a gun is fired and the bullet exits the muzzle, air gets sucked into the weapon. So any debris, hydrocarbons, sand or pollen in the air will be sucked into the gun, which can be analysed to give forensic investigators a rough area of where the gun was used. A gun fired close to the victim will also result in the victims DNA, in the form of microscopic blood spots, being sucked into the gun.

You're better off just obeying the law.

Yes, DNA can be wiped off a gun using cleaning agents or by simply wiping it with a cloth. DNA, being a fragile molecule, can be easily degraded and removed from surfaces with thorough cleaning.

How do you wipe DNA off gun?

To wipe DNA off a gun, you would need to thoroughly clean the entire surface of the gun using a solvent or cleaning solution that can break down biological material. This would involve scrubbing the gun with a cleaning brush or cloth to ensure that any DNA residue is removed. It's important to note that completely removing DNA from a surface can be challenging, and professional forensic techniques may be required to fully eliminate all traces.
