A problem with radar guns is that they only measure the componen of the velocity that is aligned to the line of sight of the radar gun. If the radar gun is perpendicular to the ball trajectory (the extreme case), the radar gun will see zero velocity. This would make using them for on field measurements problematical IMHO.
