Firearm microstamping
Firearm microstamping, ballistic imprinting and ballistic engraving are all names given to a technology that engraves a unique identifier onto a firearm's cartridge under the pressure of firing. This information is intended to be used to connect fired cases from a crime scene with a particular gun, and allow a trace subsequently to be run on empty cartridges found at the scene of a crime.
