+The measured speed / energy seeme a bit low, that's because I was using a propane magazine with a Co2 hammer spring.

|
+Another topic is the weight of the OpenChrono device.
|
|
207
|
+When attaching large weights to the front of a 1911-style mechanism, the force required to actuate the slide is much larger.
|
|
208
|
+Therefore the valve is open for a longer time, increasing the gas usage.
|
|
209
|
+So the magazine gas chamber empties quickly and, I suspect, the BB force is reduced as well.
|
|

|
+That's a drawback of this style of chronograph mounting for some guns.
