81. There's acually a place taht does study these - the National Canine Research Council.

They look at news reports of deaths due to dog bites, the circumstances of the incidents, how the owner treated the dog, the relationship of the victim to the dog, whether criminal charges were filed and why, and breed attribution when possible. The most most recent report available is from 2011:

For most of the incidents reported, the section for breed attribution has the same text: "The media reported the dogs as “pit bull” dogs. NCRC was unable to obtain any evidence or documentation from the owner or authorities that substantiate the breed. NCRC did obtain photographs of the dogs. NCRC submitted the photographs to NCRC’s expert advisor who concluded the breed(s) of the dogs could not be reasonably determined from the photographs."

The final paragraph in the conclusion of the report says it best:
These rare tragedies remind us that all dog owners have an unequivocal responsibility for the humane care (including proper diet, veterinary care, socialization and training), custody (including licensing and microchipping), and control of their dogs.

Guns are entirely different. They have manufacturers, the capabilities of a whole series of guns of a particular model can be determined by testing one example of that model.
