I've looked at this previously, (I posted up about a marker database before my 21st and I seem to have lost bits
)
it is similar to the alpha dot system, ( again another I have looked at),whilst chatting to my local police crime prevention fellow, (getting past the half hour of me explaining who I knew in paintball that was in my copy of pbuk, and showing him how fast I could pull the trigger ( no air system/ paint)) the responce was basically they won't look for these marking ( alpha dot or smart water) unless you have a pretty sticker on it which is not all that likely, due to us paintballers being a vain bunch. one thing I am still looking at is those animal chips ( anyone with a cat or dog may know) but I am having trouble finding a supplier in the uk, my vets just look at me like I'm weird, I am also working out ( hows this for dedication, physics!) if the magnetic field generated will have any effect on boards.
I never thought it would be this difficult to mark something so that the police knew it was mine! esp when there is a serial number on it.
Sorry on two counts, firstly posting so much! secondly I hope you don't think I shot it down in flames.
Currently the best thing I can think of is either
1) events get some security only has to be one person ( PA cup, Liz on front desk)
2) lock bags and don't leave guns lying around.
I'll keep you all posted as to what the police say and if this chip thingy works.
