  • Patent number: 11802747
    Abstract: The invention relates to a firearm analysis device for determining parameters which are indicative for a firearm from a shot which has been discharged from the weapon, as well as a corresponding method, a corresponding firearm and a computer program product. The device comprises a voltage generating unit which generates an alternating voltage (Ue) during a counter-recoil travel and/or recoil travel of a movable weapon part occurring during a firing. The device is characterized by a signal processing unit which generates a measurement signal (IN+) from the generated AC voltage (Ue), a signal evaluation unit which determines a first time point and a second time point during the counter-recoil travel and/or recoil travel of the movable weapon part, and a time determination unit which determines a time period duration between the first time point and the second time point.
