Anschutz Velocity Meter, officially known as the Anschutz Professional Ballistic Chronograph (Model 546), is a specialized testing device used to measure the speed (muzzle velocity) and kinetic energy of air gun ammunition. It is primarily used by competitive shooters, airgun enthusiasts, and gunsmiths to ensure their air rifles comply with competition limits and to test pellet performance.
Key specifications and features include:Measuring Range:
Accurately tracks velocities from 6.1 m/s to 500 m/s (20 FPS to roughly 1,640 FPS).
Caliber Compatibility:
Designed primarily for compressed air weapons and airguns, such as .177 caliber pellets.
Energy Calculation:
In addition to velocity in meters-persecond (m/s) or feet-per-second (FPS), it calculates and displays the kinetic energy of the pellet (typically in Joules.
