NSSF Factsheet: Bullet Serialization

Bullet Serialization is the process by which each individual round of ammunition is identified and marked with a laser engraved serial number. Bullet serialization is a de facto ban on ammunition. Manufacturers of ammunition cannot serialize ammo as it would force a slowdown in the production process -- the likes of which would turn one day’s worth of production into a nearly four-week effort.  This massive reduction in ammunition would translate into substantially lower sales and profitability and ultimately force major ammunition manufacturers to abandon the market. In turn, there would be a severe shortage of serialized ammunition and all consumers, including federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, would be faced with substantial price increases. Ammunition will go from costing pennies to several dollars per cartridge.
