Shock Testing on Gun Stocks

The Test
Greyboe, an industry-leading composite fiberglass stock manufacturer, has heard for years by users that their stocks exhibit the least recoil. To objectively prove this is true, Greyboe sought to perform some testing with accelerometers to directly measure the recoil compared to competitors’ stocks.
We mounted a few Slam Sticks to 3 different stocks and recorded the response during firing.
The Data
The Greyboe amplitudes were noticeably lower which suggests the reduced recoil that shooters feel with these stocks.

This is extremely interesting!
(I am considering using a SlamStick to test and validate muzzle brake design.)
What were the units you used in those test?
Got to use piezoresistive on these as we found the piezoelectric accelerometers couldn't handle the high-frequency element. So Slam Stick S was used and worked great!
Super, thank you!
Piezoresitive it will be then.
