An apparatus, system, computer-readable medium, and/or process to measure, sense, or otherwise obtain weight of a projectile and use that information to generate instructions to adjust aim of the projectile. For example, instructions may indicate a desired weight of a projectile for performance.

Aiming a firearm via a disturbed pointer is disclosed and can include receiving a mounting position of a ballistic aiming system with respect to a boresight of the firearm, a detected cant of the firearm, and a determined range to a target. An adjusted aiming solution for the target can be determined based on the mounting position, the detected cant, and the determined range. A projectable pattern of one or more elements can be generated, wherein an element of the elements can be related to a disturbed pointer corresponding to the adjusted aiming solution for the target. A light source can be controlled to output a portion of the projectable pattern of one or more elements comprising the element related to the disturbed pointer, wherein the disturbed pointer can be projected as the adjusted aiming solution for the target.

There are described methods and system for determining a similarity or distance measure between a first ballistic specimen and a second ballistic specimen. The method comprises acquiring topographic data from the first ballistic specimen and the second ballistic specimen of at least one region of interest; computing from the topographic data at least one similarity score s for the first ballistic specimen and the second ballistic specimen; determining a non-match probability measure of the similarity score for at least one parameter characterizing a macroscopic and/or microscopic feature of the topographic data, the non-match probability measure associating the first ballistic specimen and the second ballistic specimen to a different source; and correcting the similarity score by determining a corrected similarity score that yields a same value of the non-match probability measure as the similarity score for a reference value of the at least one parameter.

Use of a muzzle velocity detector with a display allows for a rapid calculation of a second shot firing solution based on a first shot analysis. A doppler radar emitter and detector is located in a housing. The housing has a mount that allows it to be coupled to a hand guard on a rifle. This allows for the muzzle velocity to be detected very close to the end of the barrel. Information about the bullet can be preloaded into a ballistics calculator. The ballistics calculator can be integrated with the muzzle velocity detector or coupled wirelessly to it. The impact location of the first shot is identified and that “drift” is used with muzzle velocity and many other factors to quickly provide a compensation to be used with the sight to ensure the second shot is more accurate.
