Just curious.....
....but when shooting a revolver which one is familiar with, is it possible to make ACCURATE muzzle velocity estimations based on recoil and muzzle blast alone? I met this guy at the range today and he seems to not only be able to differentiate ammo brands (when blindfolded) by smelling the spent casing but also be able to give pretty fair indications about muzzle velocity based on recoil and blast sensation. He came quite close when checked against a chronograph.
