The invention relates to an ammunition monitoring system (1) with at least one fired-shot sensor (2) assignable to a firearm (3) and with a shooting log device (9), wherein the ammunition monitoring system (1) is designed to record as shooting data, by means of the fired-shot sensor (2), the firing of at least one shot from the firearm (3), achievable by the discharge of a cartridge loaded into the firearm, and to store the recorded shooting data in the shooting log device (9). The invention also relates to a method for ammunition monitoring, wherein shooting data on the firing of at least one shot from a firearm (3), achieved by the discharge of a cartridge loaded into the firearm, is recorded by at least one fired-shot sensor (2) assigned to the firearm (3) and stored in a shooting log device (9).
An ammunition monitoring system with at least one fired-shot sensor assignable to a firearm and with a shooting log device, wherein the ammunition monitoring system is designed to record as shooting data, by means of the fired-shot sensor, the firing of at least one shot from the firearm, achievable by the discharge of a cartridge loaded into the firearm, and to store the recorded shooting data in the shooting log device, characterized in that the shooting log device has a blockchain data structure for filing of the shooting data, wherein the blockchain data structure has an accounting system for the cartridge which comprises a digital copy of the cartridge and covers the period at least from delivery, in particular from manufacture of the cartridge, to the shot being fired, wherein actual expending of the cartridge is determinable using the blockchain data structure based on shooting data and is loggable by irrevocable transfer of the digital copy of the cartridge into a blacklist ammunition wallet in tamper-proof manner.
A method for ammunition monitoring, in particular using an ammunition monitoring system according to any of the above claims, wherein shooting data on the firing of at least one shot from a firearm, achieved by the firing of a cartridge loaded into the firearm, is recorded by at least one fired-shot sensor assigned to the firearm and stored in a shooting log device, characterized in that the shooting data is stored in a blockchain data structure, wherein accounting for the cartridge is conducted in the blockchain data structure, wherein a digital copy of the cartridge is generated for accounting purposes, and wherein accounting covers the period at least from delivery, in particular from manufacture of the cartridge, to the shot being fired, wherein actual expending of the cartridge is determined using the blockchain data structure based on the shooting data and is logged by irrevocable transfer of the digital copy of the cartridge into a blacklist ammunition wallet in tamper-proof manner.
