Airsoft chronographs are used to measure the Feet Per Second (FPS) and Metres Per Second (MPS) of your airsoft gun, which is important for adhering to airsoft site limits.
From various top airsoft brands like Emerson Gear and the renowned Xcortech, our airsoft chronographs are compact and portable for both on-site and at-home use.
Accurate & Reliable Testing Using Our Chronographs
Many airsoft sites have FPS limits to maintain safety on the field. Using a chronograph is the only way to accurately test and measure your airsoft gun’s speed, ensuring it meets the legal requirements.
Not only that, but the UK legislation with regard to airsoft guns as firearms also states that your gun must not exceed the legal FPS limit, or it will be deemed a ‘real’ firearm and, therefore, illegal to own.
Whether you just want to make sure you’re prepared before a game day or you’re an avid technician that’s just installed some fresh upgrade parts, each chronograph has its own unique features for every player.
Our airsoft chronograph selection can be trusted to provide accurate and reliable testing, making sure your airsoft gun is performing as it should.

How Do Chronographs Work?"]
Chronographs use two sensors, one at the beginning of the track and one at the end. When a BB passes through them, it triggers a light beam which measures the time of travel between the two sensors, calculating the velocity with which the BB has travelled.
