Abstract
A method includes determining a shot count within an optical device coupled to a firearm. The shot count corresponds to a number of shots taken using the firearm. The method further includes determining a muzzle velocity parameter from a life-cycle profile of the firearm based on the shot count as an input into a ballistics solution.
