Well, gosh, if tens of thousands of dollars in instrumentation cannot be reliable, then I guess my whole post should be ignored. (I am a sensor systems and instrumentation engineer, so I’ll take my measurements for accuracy enough.)
So, what did you use?
As an instruments and sensor guy, I suspect you are aware of all the complications siting and environment bring to the problem.
I have attempted to understand the difficulties of measuring gunshots. I have read numerous accounts of how difficult it is to have repeatable tests.
So, I am very interested in your instruments and setup.
