Pocket Chrono – Ballistic Chronograph App for Airsoft & Paintball
Turn your Android phone into a professional-grade chronograph — no extra equipment needed.
Pocket Chrono measures the muzzle velocity of your airsoft or paintball marker using only
your phone's built-in microphone and accelerometer. The app detects the
muzzle blast through the audio sensor and the physical impulse through the
accelerometer, then precisely calculates the time difference between the two
events to derive your projectile's velocity in FPS or m/s.
