Claim 8:
9. A method for determining an operational status of a firearm based on a discharge event, the method comprising:
measuring a first acceleration on the firearm at a first time representing initial discharge of a first discharge event of the firearm;
measuring a second acceleration on the firearm at a second time representing initial discharge of a second discharge event of the firearm;
calculating a measured shot separation of first and second accelerations between the first and second times;
comparing the measured shot separation to at least one shot separation threshold;
assigning a speed of a movement member in the firearm based on the comparing; and
determining the operational status of the firearm based on the assigned speed.
