That makes sense. I've seen something similar on the TV show "Flashpoint", mobile microphones/sensors were used to triangulate the position of a sniper iirc. This obviously makes sense, if you have the manpower to react to something like this.
But yeah, it might look cool at first glance, but I don't think its worth its money.
- hga 11y agoNote that that's extra tricky, because there are two generally sounds: the first received will be from the shock wave of supersonic bullet, then the report from the rifle.
- mgarfias 11y agoOnly if its a supersonic projectile AND its still supersonic when it passes the mic. Assuming a 115gr 9mm +P (.167 BC) that leaves the muzzle at 1275fps, the bullet slows to subsonic velocities between 50 and 75 yards. Assuming standard day at sea level. Likely they’re looking for the muzzle blast. Also, rifles generally aren’t used to commit crimes, so looking for the shockwave exclusively will be next to pointless.
