Microstamping simply is the utilization of surfaces within a firearm that currently have unintentional microstructures (currently used for forensic firearm identification) formed during the manufacture of the firearm, by adding intentional (alphanumeric or geometric codes - holograms / barcodes) on those surfaces.
The idea is to not change the dynamics of the firearm and use the same forces that currently transfer the unintentional tooling marks.
Microstamping is simply an evolutionary step in firearm identification technology, augmenting, not replacing current firearm and toolmark analysis. Microstamping is a method to identify the firearm, when the firearm is not recovered.
