The MagnetoSpeed Rifleman Chronograph

NOT in production, yet. :groner:

Barrel mounted. Uses magnetometers, not light sensors.

I hope they can get this thing to work and sell millions, and make lots of money! [smilie=w:

I"m still wondering how a non-ferrous metal can be read by a magnet sensor.

It reads a disturbanse in the magnetic field.

Eddy currents.

It must work on the same principle as a common metal detector. Most metals will disturb a magnetic field. The field lines have difficulty going through them.

Great concept, can't wait to see where this goes. Pact and others will get in on the technology I bet. Sensor spacing seems awfully close, but maybe better clocks hav made this less of an issue.

The time has come to put money in a pot for a chronograph!

Not recommended for lead due to inconsistent results... Bummer!
Makes it useless for my needs.

It looks super convenient, but expensive, no good with lead and I don't see how you could mount it on a traditional moving slide semi auto pistol.

Not for me.

If I hung that off the end of my .300 win mag, which has a muzzle brake, it will end up in little pieces!

Did anybody see a price tag on them?

I doubt one can perform accuracy testing in conjunction with chronographing.

Interest page says introductory price is $250.

it seems to me the point of impact would change with it hanging on the end of the barrel.

It might change the point of impact a little but it's job is to record of the boolit speed not where the boolet will hit.
