Caseless revolver
I must get one of these: Only semi-automatic handguns can leave micro-stamps: Revolvers cannot because their bullets have no shell casings.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Boy, those revolvers are some high-tech stuff.

You’re welcome.

I suspect that the original point, filtered through several layers of ignorance, was that revolvers don’t spew their casings around the scene of the – ah – disturbance.

But you could do micro-stamping on a percussion cap. Need to go all the way back to pinlocks, flintlocks, wheellocks, or *shudder* matchlocks. Can you imagine trying to carry concealed with a matchlock?
It’s a plot to take away our six-shooters, I tell ye!

That site is a Demand Media style spam farm, with articles typed by random minimum wage monkeys in a far off land. I’m more surprised at how intelligible it was.

Yeah; Bruce has it. Since revolvers don’t eject cases upon firing – you have to be really nice to the police and manually eject your cases so you can leave them at the scene of the crime as a calling card. The layers of “smart people” morphed that into something they could understand. Whatever you do, don’t tell them about brass catchers for semi autos or their heads will explode.
I am one of those who shoots consumable cartridges in percussion revolvers, but I wouldn’t expect the smart people to know anything about a technology that was developed, reached its peak, and was made obsolete before they were born. That’s asking WAY too much.

Later in that very same article comes a blindingly brilliant touch of… something… irony?
“Most criminals, however, lack the expertise needed to make these modifications [removing the microstamp], Young says. “If you look at crimes that are committed, nine times out of ten, the people who are using guns are not that knowledgeable about how to use guns or change things out.”
Which, if I’m reading this correctly, is a concise syllogism proving that criminals and gun grabbers have a lot in common.
