Many people for sure will not like this..
Well, it is good somehow because it was a form of adaption after all but I don't think this would be a good idea in the long run. Maybe in the beginning days, many will follow the strict regulations regarding this implementation (if ever) but I know that time will come when aspiring gun holders (whether the good ones or even the bad ones) out there will realize that such technology could easily be used for wrong intentions. To easoly get my point, are you aware that crypto is the currency used for buying illegal firearms on the deep web? 
Topic: Blokchain for tracking bullets and guns. (Read 557 times)
I wonder why nobody came up with the idea of using Blockchain in the arms industry?
The possibility of finding any weapon or even a bullet would solve many unexplained crimes.
I wonder if arms companies will ever implement this technology. This could practically end illegal arms trafficking. Many people for sure will not like this..
The full potential of blockchain technology had not been fully utilized so I am not surprised to read about its viability in the tracking of bullets and guns having read it reliability in chain supplies, medicine etc.The possibility of finding any weapon or even a bullet would solve many unexplained crimes.

I am quite optimistic that with the growth in technology many countries will have to dig and key into the this idea of blockchain in solving whatever problems that could not be solved with other means.
Illegal arms trafficking had become a major problem of late due to the increase in terrorism and arm bandictry of course there is need to stop all these unwarranted act of human misbehavior thus blockchain will address the issue.
i also hope it can be implemented but things like this make a huge money for some individuals, companies and some countries. so they wont bother to cut there ways of making money even though its illegal. but i still believe it can be implemented sooner or later when people see the need to do to cut crime rates.
I think this is a good idea but impossible. Guns and ammo store start to loss their business when it's happened. I think when criminals will know about it they will never buy any guns and bullet to the shops will have a track. We are business minded and the criminal is always think for their operation so they will manufactured their own equipment. And I think tracker is good but not in guns and bullet industry.
For me, this is a good idea. Because honestly, it will upgrade the way how people tracks the bullets and guns. And for this, it makes to mature even more the influence of the blockchain technology around the globe.
But what I don't understand about this idea is why we need a separate tracking blockchain for one specific industry, when many general-purpose ones can do the same job even better, and with more security.
The weapon belongs only to the state which has an official letter from the government to have. I do not agree if the weapons industry uses blockchain, because it can facilitate the sale and purchase of weapons for bad people and crime will occur everywhere.
I'm not sure at what point you did not understand my comment, or you just don't understand how the blockchain work.
Read again, think and try one more time.

If the company is created for the soul purpose of promoting trafficking only?
Even the company is legit but how blockchain record of a bullet or arms can stop trafficking? If somebody stole from their inventory and sold in gray market? They are still lethal whether blockchain have their record or not.
Reality vs. expectation. You could.not expect that the block chain will going to trace or record for this because the people behind it will just find a way or a loophole in the system and use it. I do not think it will going to work out here because of anonymity. This one features really not good to all users here in the forum.

This won't suffice in our country. Most of you don't know that some bad guys out here make their own customized weapon. Guns that are bought underground are also rampant. Even so approved by international laws, there are always bad people even with in the authorities and officers. I do hope of some weapon that will not be able to fire unless the user assigned to it is not the one who will fire it. If they made something like fingerprints then it won't suffice. A rule could be the user assigned should be alive or connected to him in some ways, like it won't activate unless he is still breathing.
Yes Weapon industry will definitely use blockchain technology due to its potential features but if some are going to use it to track down weapons and bullets it will be another war strategy used by governments against there rivals this might even a make a key fact during making of war strategies but I doubt it will make a significant difference for the common public because there is no effective way to take and track records of black market weapons which are used by gangs and under world but
maybe it will happen soon, we know that blockchain is the "new" network for us, and i think that it have many benefit, if we use blockchain we can see there are many benefit on it. and i think that blockchain will makes big different when it implemented on all network and system in the world
With the advent of 3D printing we're soon to the see the idea of tracking and tracing, let alone attempting to control the ownership, of guns become laughable.
I find really, really weird that the people committed to making death dealing devices available to any psychotic, masturbatory oik are regarded as heroes by some but I've given up attempting to understand Americans and guns.

The problem with this is that you'd basically need every gun manufacturer to be on board with it or it simply wouldn't work.
Try getting gun manufacturers from non-US countries to implement such a system, it's basically impossible.
Even if every gun manufacturer would be on board, then you would still have the chance that guns and ammunition fall off the radar.
Stock can easily disappear, either from within the factory or from transport, happens all the time.

Of course if a network is build using Blockchain technology to keep record on guns and bullets access will be only given to certain people and because blockchain is a decentralize technology which is more efficient than any other traditional system it will provide best functions for those who wish to track down guns, Bullets and there locations
The blockchain technology is still at an early stage use as more ideas are being developed which uses blockchain technology. The idea is a great idea and I am sure soon enough blockchain for tracking bullets and guns will soon be set up. It takes time but soon it will come enough.
I do not know whether they will use this idea. Databases for bullets and shells have been around for a long time, but they are closed for general use. Even not all law enforcement officers are allowed to view such a database. The blockchain technology is designed for open access to such a database online. Such openness is absolutely not necessary for the bullet and bullet cases, and besides, a non-expert will not be able to use it anyway. In fact, this database is for experts in this field, and they only report the results of their findings.
For me, this is a good idea. Because honestly, it will upgrade the way how people tracks the bullets and guns. And for this, it makes to mature even more the influence of the blockchain technology around the globe.
Well this is a good thing to happen if there will be someone, or a team that will make this idea implemented in the crypto world. Indeed, it will be a good project that surely will boosted if made accordingly.

stop trading weapons for civil society. in any form the trade in weapons will have a terrible effect, we have just seen the effects of arms trade, namely the massacre of mosque worshipers in New zealand. this is due to the civil society being allowed to have weapons. I don't think crypto should be used in buying and selling weapons because it can be very dangerous. The possibility of finding any weapon or even a bullet would solve many unexplained crimes.

The blockchain technology is slowly getting its usage around various functional sectors. Even on adding blockchain technology to the bullets and guns it won't be that effective. To attain cent percent effectiveness it is a must to enroll each and every gun that gets manufactured. This is not at all possible, because there is a big market that manufacturers without any legalities.
This is true though. But some vendors could definitely implement it if that's what they choose to do. Should it be forced?
I don't think so honestly. This could lead to many unnecessary problems that will inevitable affect Blockchain. When it's about subjects like this it's up to the lawmakers to decide what to do, i believe we should push adoption into less polemic industries and businesses first.
