Abstract
A system for determining the muzzle velocity of a firearm includes a firearm having a barrel and a gas block. A first sensor is arranged at a gas block and is configured to determine a change in pressure within the gas block. A second sensor is positioned at an end of the barrel of the firearm for detecting a pressure wave produced by a projectile fired by the firearm. A control unit is in communication with the first sensor and the second sensor and is configured to determine a velocity of the projectile based on information received from the first sensor and the second sensor.
