Very cool.

We measure muzzle velocity by shooting the ball through a light beam (an LED and sensor pair, spaced 8" apart) and measuring the time it takes for a 6.875" ball to cross it. We used a storage oscilloscope to measure the time, but we're looking for a better way of measuring the time, on the order of 15 milliseconds.
