There are some pretty good college white papers on the subject floating around out there. The pendulum method being one of several ways to go about it. The papers I have seen were mostly by ME (Mechanical Engineering) students. Good stuff.The method of measuring recoil energy is with the pendulum method, where you suspend the weapon with wires, shoot it and measure how far back and up it goes and calculate the energy from that.
Here is an example.
