Ballistic Chronograph

JAR4x4:
Any other suggestions regarding sensor. Will a gituar pickup magnet and coil style sensor also pickup a non ferrous metal? Or is better to go with a doubble coil, metal detector style sensor?

Do not know.
I do not think anyone here knows how this device functions.
Arduino is unlikely to be enough. Analogue electronics is probably needed and it would be better to use hardware for timing accuracy.
