Whether prosecution evidence can be disbelieved if there is no recovery of weapon of offence?

As there is clear eyewitness

account of the incident and none of the two eyewitnesses could be

shaken during crossexamination

and they had stuck to the

recollection of the facts relating to the incident, the mere fact that the

weapon of assault or the bullet was not recovered cannot demolish the

prosecution case.
