Marquage

Chaque nouvelle arme fabriquée en Belgique dont le calibre est inférieur à 35 mm doit être vérifiée par le Banc d'Epreuves des armes à feu qui n'accepte à l'épreuve que les armes qui portent une marque du fabriquant. Ce marquage est distinctif dans une grande mesure.

Marking

Each new firearm manufactured in Belgium, of a calibre smaller than 35 mm, must be verified by the Proof House of Firearms that only accepts firearms marked by the manufacturer. The marking is distinctive to a great extent.

[Editor's Note: After reviewing available legislation and other source documents, GunPolicy.org found no evidence of a provision in law to regulate the 'ballistic fingerprinting' aspect of firearm policy. As some authorities enforce restrictions only in practice, the mere absence of a published legal provision should be treated with caution]
