What is with this new generation of shooters writing stuff on the bullets? Is this some new fad like if I go deer hunting or something I write FUCK BAMBI on the bulllet?

    Back in the day, shooters etc wrote lengthy manifestos.

    I think they’ve realized that these days no one is going to read a full length manifesto so it’s better to note their thoughts in…

    Bullet point.

    (Sorry.)

      Swords had phrases written on them too. This has been happening since forever.

    Luigi showed the world that if you write your manifesto on your ammo then the media will spread it everywhere.

      And it continues up to the present day. There was a Ukraine war fundraiser where you could pay to have a custom message written on munitions.

      And even before ammo, people would name and/or engrave their swords.

        And spears and slingshot bullets and arrows and armor and…

        https://imperiumromanum.pl/en/curiosities/messages-on-missiles-to-sling/amp/

        Among other things, Greek bullets found inscriptions like “Got you!” or “Ouch!” In turn, during the war of Rome with allies (90-88 BC), engravings were found on the missiles: “For Pompey’s Backside!” (it is about the famous father Pompey the Great – Pompey Strabon’s Gnaeus) or “Take that!”.

      There was 2 types of stories. First type was propaganda pushed by right wing outlets and influencers like Steven Crowder about manufacturer markings. Second type of story was released by federal agencies and is a little more trustworthy. First type of story was generally retracted. It’s a easy mistake to make when news moves so fast.

      Most bullet casings are brass, which is a fairly soft metal, you could probably scratch some words into it with a pocket knife, sewing needle, pretty much any pointy steel object
