I am investigating a Magnetospeed chronograph which uses electromagnetic sensors to measure velocity. It uses a bayonet like device that attaches to the muzzle. This device contains the sensors that are claimed to be immune to muzzle blast. I’ve seen some forum threads that show this device is comparable to an Ohler P35 at half the cost.

The big selling factor is that it appears to be hugely simple to use. Just strap it onto the barrel and shoot.

So my question: Has anyone here used this device and if so, what are your thoughts about it. I’ve searched but can’t find any reference to this item.

Thanks.
Sounds nice but what if you want to measure velocity at say 100m, 200m, 500m?
