Marking (Marcación)

La marcación de las armas, municiones y explosivos en Colombia sí es requerida por disposición legal, Ley 737 de 2002.

Para las armas importadas por la Industria Militar, se le exige al fabricante de las mismas que estén debidamente marcadas … con el nombre del fabricante, acompañado del año de fabricación, el modelo y el calibre del arma, el año de importación y el número del contrato.

Para la munición de defensa personal y cacería se estampa en el culote del cartucho: la sigla INDUMIL y el calibre; en la caja se marca un consecutivo de ocho dígitos, los dos primeros indican el año de fabricación.
