We all know that guns are cool, and we all know that customized guns are even cooler. But what really puts the icing on the cake is a Marked Bullet to go with that fancy AMT Silverballer that you're dying to use. A lot of vengeance seeking protagonists tend to use these types of theatrical bullets, usually to make a point that they have a bullet with their enemy's name on it, and it's reserved just for them. A common variation is a missile or bomb with a message or image painted on its surface, which generally has less impact on the projectile's ballistics. Favored by The Gunslinger, And is usually used with Gun Fu, and Gun Kata. Also used with Bullet Time. Compare Designated Bullet. Truth in Television for bombs in WWII. Aircrews painted messages on some bombs. Examples |

In His Dark Materials a witch does this, marking an arrow to use when she takes her revenge on Mrs Coulter. She never gets to use it, but her breaking the arrow is taken as a sign she is POSITIVE the target is dead. | |

Parodied in Ernest in the Army. Ernest had heard the euphemism about a bullet with your name on it and failed to realize it's not literal. He has one of these with his own name on it that he carries around with him, in the belief that it means he can't be shot. | |

Supernatural A particularly brutal example occurs when Sam and Dean are facing off against an unimaginably powerful demon named Abaddon. They shoot her in the head with a bullet that has a Devil's Trap carved on it. This doesn't kill her, but it renders her unable to move or leave her host, and to finally stop her they cut apart her body and bury her in cement. The cartridge cases of the revolver which can kill almost any supernatural being are numbered as Samuel Colt only made 13 of them, creating dramatic tension as the Winchesters use them up one by one. |

A sidequest on Kashyyyk in Knights of the Old Republic involves finding a Wookiee gone missing in the Shadowlands. You find what's left of him, some marked casings from a bowcaster (Wookiee hunting weapon), and a slaver's contract. The Wookiee village judge you show them to is quickly able to determine who shot the guy. Showing them what else you found on the corpse can change the outcome. | |

A mod exists for Fallout: New Vegas called "A Bullet With Benny's Name On It." This mod allows you to take "your trophy bullet" (i.e. the one Benny put in the Courier's head in the intro cutscene) and recast it as a special 9mm round (that optionally does increased damage) which, if you drop it and look at the world model, does indeed have Benny's name on it. Get your hands on Benny's custom 9mm handgun, Maria, for extra payback. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Iron Man opens with the protagonist, engineering genius and Arms Dealer Tony Stark, being caught in an ambush in Afghanistan. A delayed-action shell lands in front of him, giving Stark enough time to see the Stark Industries logo painted on the side before it explodes. It takes him half the movie to find out why he was fired on with his own ordnance. The Starscream in his own corporation paid his ambushers with Stark Industries weapons in exchange for killing his boss, so it was literally a shell with his name on it. The scene gets a Call-Back in Avengers: Age of Ultron when Wanda and Pietro Maximoff explain why It's Personal for them. Captain America: The First Avenger: The Valkyrie has manned cruise missiles with their designated targets of New York and Chicago painted on their nosecones. |

For his X-Ray attack in Mortal Kombat X, Erron Black fires a bullet that has his opponent's name etched onto it. It ricochets twice inside his opponent's body before exiting, breaking bones along the way. There are some Easter Eggs: the bullet will be labeled "Me" if he uses his X-Ray attack in a Mirror Match, and "Ugly Mofo" when used against Predator. | |

Deadshot in Batman: Arkham City uses custom rounds with his moniker on them. It's one of several mistakes that eventually lead the Dark Knight straight to him. However, Deadshot somewhat sensibly applied his moniker to his rounds' casings rather than to the bullets themselves. | |

The Replacement Killers: In this Heroic Bloodshed film, Chow Yun-Fat's character uses a bullet that has the Chinese/Japanese character for 'Death' on its shell casing to kill one of the major bad guys. He sets one down in front of the target as a way to say "Hi. I'm here to shoot you now." Seems sort of counterproductive for a hitman to telegraph his intentions like that, but, hey.note One could also consider that it is a bit redundant. You could mark a bullet with "Macaroni cheese" but it still means death. | |

Mass Effect: Invoked by the turian military, according to Garrus. Of course, since the bullets are microscopic chunks of ammo carved off an "ammo block", no message would be visible. The message (the shooter's name) is carved onto the entire block, instead. It's specifically stated to be a symbolic gesture, of "owning your kills". | |

In the Septimus Heap series, there is a magical significance to a named bullet, and sooner or later it will always find its target. The catch, as one assassin finds out, is that this doesn't necessarily mean the target will be shot with it. The way the bullet is named is important too. If the bullet was named 'I.P.', nothing stops it from killing Iona Pot (aka Alice Nettles) instead of the Infant Princess. | |

WANTED: In the trailer, Angelina Jolie is shown firing a bullet that says "Good Bye" written on it. Which was more a message to Wesley than to the ones that it hit. In fact, in the same film, there is an invoked aversion to the trope, with a character whose bullets had a break-away outer casing to prevent the gun from leaving any identifying marks at all on them. When one of these bullets fails to separate from the casing it ends up playing the trope straight by making the bullet even easier to trace than a normal one would be. | |

Warhammer 40,000 Orks like to decorate their "rokkits" (rockets) with checkerboard patterns or shark Nose Art. Some especially potent bolt rounds used by Space Marines have blessings inscribed on them. |

Parodied in Blackadder Goes Forth, in which Baldrick carves his own name on a bullet, the reasoning being that since "there's a bullet out there with your name on it", he is assured that it won't hit him if he owns said bullet. | |

An episode of CSI revolves around the murder of a man suffering from Hypertrichosis (aka "Werewolf syndrome"), a condition that causes excessive body hair. To make matters even more bizarre, the guy was shot with a silver bullet. It turns out the guy wasn't murdered due to being confused with a werewolf but because he was engaged to the killer's sister who feared their children would inherit the condition. Why did the guy go through all the trouble of forging a silver bullet with the added risk of the police finding him as it indeed happened? "Seemed appropriate." | |

Beast Wars: Scorponok had missiles with the Maximals' logo painted on. Unfortunately, this confused viewers as Transformers usually put their own team's logo on equipment (even weapons) rather than the logo of the team that's going to be shot with them, so the idea was dropped. | |

In Deadpool, the titular character is on his way to a gunfight only to realize he forgot most of his ammo at home. He decides he'll have to make do with the 12 rounds he did bring, telling the audience "Let's count 'em down!" In a subversion that solves the ballistics issue, each bullet has a number from 1-12 stamped on the bottom of the casing, several of which are shown to the audience as they get used. More of a fourth wall break than anything, but it seems to at least be a partial parody of this trope. | |

The eponymous Priest (2011) carves crosses into the tips of bullets intended to be used against vampires. This may just be symbolic, as there are no indications that the vampires in the film are vulnerable to religious iconography. (What it would conceivably do is turn an ordinary bullet into an expanding dum-dum, causing more damage to the target and being less likely to come out the other side.) | |
