[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2199851, member: 29706"] The microstamping process only imprints the primer from my understanding but is nearly worthless after a few hundred rounds anyway. Ever look at the head of a hammer after a few hundred blows. The surface will never be just like new. It ends up with nicks and scratches everywhere which after a few hundred more blows change again. The firing pins will eventually get to the point where they are flat and do not imprint. . . but let them have their fun. It's not like it's going to change a thing in their crime rates. They will just blame it on the other states. Anyone want to invest in building some gun shops just outside the Kalifornica border for law abiding citizens to ignore the nazi control? BTW info from gunfacts.info MICROSTAMPING Background: Microstamping is a proposed means for imprinting unique serial numbers onto cartridges fired from a gun. Similar to “ballistic fingerprinting,” it allegedly helps police identify what firearm might have been used in a crime. Microstamping uses precision equipment to remove microscopic amounts of metal from the tip of the firing pin Myth: Independent testing by forensic technologists shows the technology is reliable Fact: Firing pins are readily removable and swappable in most models of handguns, and with inexpensive replacement parts. Criminals who file down serial numbers on the sides of guns won’t hesitate to file or exchange firing pins. Fact: 46% of impressions ranked as “unsatisfactory” (i.e., illegible) after only ten rounds. 389 Fact: Reloaded ammo (which is extremely common due to the economics of recycling casings and home reloading tools) will make prosecuting cases nearly impossible once the “reloaded ammo” defense is raised (for microstamping that imprints case sides). A case may have two or more markings, making the final shooter impossible to identify. Myth: Filing the firing pin will make the gun inoperable Fact: Firing pins are designed to be pushed deeply into the primer (igniter) of the round. The depth of the engraving (approximately 0.005 inch) 390 is vastly smaller than the tolerance of the firing pins drive depth. Fact: In a test, the engravings were removed using a 50-year-old knife sharpening stone in less than a minute. The firearm still operated correctly after the filing. 391 Myth: The cost per firearm will be cheap Fact: The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the representative for firearm manufactures, estimates the cost will be upwards of $150 per firearm, more than tripling the price of self-protection and making it unaffordable for low-income people. 392 The Brady Campaign dispute those with firearm manufacturing experience claiming micro-stamping would cost only 50¢? 389 NanoTag TM Markings From Another Perspective, George G. Krivosta, Suffolk County Crime Laboratory, Hauppauge, New York, Winter 2006 edition of the AFTE Journal 390 Ibid 391 Ibid 392 Etched bullets interest law enforcement, The Record, September 25, 2006 [/QUOTE]
