A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11898831B2) discloses a bullet compressing device designed to create marks on a bullet imparted by a gun barrel. The device consists of two members separated by a gap, with a biasing member that compresses the gap to secure the bullet between the members. An actuator allows for movement of the members and the bullet within the gun barrel, resulting in marks being made on the bullet by the barrel upon activation.

Furthermore, the patent includes a method for creating these marks, involving securing the gun to a frame, deforming the bullet radially outward, and extracting it along the barrel to create the desired marks. Additionally, a cold firing apparatus is described in the patent, featuring a frame, a holding device for the firearm, and a member and pulling device combination to push the bullet out of the barrel while inside. The compressing device within the apparatus includes a biasing member to secure the bullet between two members for effective marking.
