Original Note:
Microstamping Technology is unproven technology, peer reviewed studies have found that “just 54 of the 100 codes were fully legible” and that normal firing heat, pressure, and metal on metal wear can erase or degrade the microstamp, and deliberate removal is not difficult. https://www.thetrace.org/2023/01/microstamping-gun-bullets-new-york/
