First is the technology, how do you stop the tiny numbers on the bullets from deforming?

Second, ammo is cheap, you can get 1000 rounds of 9mm or .223 (ar-15) ammo for under $100 dollars.

If the 13.5 million legal gun owners in CA buy $100 of ammo prior to the ban (and some will buy much much more)there will be an additionl 6-10 billion rounds in CA. depending on the price paid.

Untagged ammo will not disappear, it will just get more expensive, like high capacity magazines under the assult weapons ban.

Third, if all else fails, criminals will switch to sawed off shotguns, which do a lot more dammage than a 9mm.
