[QUOTE="Dragoon300, post: 3019446, member: 115285"] The Magnetospeed was light years ahead of optical chronographs of the past, and made it possible to get accurate velocities with simple easy to use equipment that could be carried in your pack and taken any where in the world. Where you could check any ammo you had to use in the environment you were in. This was and still is very important to professionals that need this capability. Lab Radar certainly was not that kind of tool, the new Garmin just may be. The Magnetospeed strapped to the barrel may cause POI shifts and other harmonics issues, but it does give accurate velocities. When it is mounted off the barrel it may cause POI shift from gas deflection around the bayonet when the projectile passes over it, but it still gives accurate velocities. Test it yourself and see. I don't have any huge urge to spend $600 on the Garmin yet when it would be better spent elsewhere, I am glad I didn't buy into Lab Radar, and am happy that I still get accurate velocities with my Magnetospeed any where I take it!
