 Measuring Rate of Fire Through Audio Analysis

Accurately measuring your rate of fire doesn't mean you need an expensive chrono. This guide shows you how with a PC, a cheap microphone and free software, the rate of fire of any AEG can be easily determined.

 

 

Introduction:

Measuring the rate of fire for an AEG can be a tricky task. With typical AEGs shooting at 15 to 20 rounds per second, counting the number of rounds fired while timing the interval with a stop watch can be quite inaccurate. While most top-end projectile chronographs feature rate of fire measuring capability, most airsofters do not have ready access to such equipment. For the technically and electronically adept airsofters, schematics for home brew ROF meters such as the excellent Unconventional Airsoft ROF Meter are available and can be constructed relatively inexpensively, but still requires time and skill to implement properly. Fortunately for the rest of us, there is a simple yet highly accurate method to determine rate of fire, with nothing more than your personal computer, any microphone, and free sound editing software.
