Serial # on bullets?

What's to stop a criminal from shaving off the serial numbers before using the ammo?

If you can embed a serial number within the head (inside) the bullet, I think you would have something.

I'm not too familiar with that type of tech. Would it be cost effective, or would it run 2x-3x the price of a bullet for each embedding? Could you do it small enough to fit on/in a .22 and still be legible?

Well, you would be able to tell what type of bullet it was, but as far as isentifying who fired it would be impossible.

You might be able to trace where it was initially sold, but if it was resold, or the guy that bought it was not the guy who fired it.... It is just plain old stupid liberal gibberish that tries to give some dummy who doesn't realize how criminals get around these sorts of idiotic measures fell a sense of false security.

Oh, gee, won't it be nice to ID the guy who killed you? Really.....

The idea of microprinting on the firing pin has issues as well.
Someone could easily go to a shooting range, pick up the expended brass, and drop that at a crime scene. Poof. Instant accusation.

When nobody casts their own bullets, weapons parts are no longer interchangeable, weapons can no longer be made at home and military ammunition is not readily available, some of these ideas may amount to something. There's all sorts of ways to make one's own weapons. These are just a few that have shown up in "gun controlled" Australia. There are demonstration videos of how to make these sorts of sub-machine guns on the internet.

If they pass legislation, then ultimate ammo registration will have to go with it which will then open the gates for gun registration. Serialized ammo simply won't work without registration.

That goes for F2F transactions as well.

Exactly... Which is just about as good as serial numbering bullets would be.

Actually, that sounds like a good idea to me as long as manufactures can actually coordinate tracking methods with the ATF and the criminal doesn't engrave the bullet himself.

I am thinking the typical mob hit will be stolen gun with a serial number from their enemy's collection.

i don't have any heartburn with it either as long as they don't make me go back and pull the bullets out that i've already pressed into cartridges.....or as long i don't have to put serial #s on the bullets that I cast myself.....mac
