1 Impulse noise levels generated by starter pistols Authors: Jacob Soendergaard, Deanna K. Meinke, Michael Stewart, Donald S. Finan, James E. Lankford, Greg A. Flamme, William J. Murphy and Amir Khan.

2 Background Motivation Letter from Paul Murphy nobody recognizes his concern No published data on this issue (Firearm connotation, starting advantage) Impulse Hazard starts at 140dB (NIOSH), 120dB for kids (WHO) Experiment 1 (Directionality) Experiment 2 (Comparison) Experiment 3 (Track) 2

3 Background - Use of Starter Devices High school (NFHS) recommends - see Rule University (NCAA) requires - see RULE 5, Article 2. Pro athletics (IAAF) dictates a/05/47/81/ _httppostedfile_comprules2010_ web_26oct09_17166.pdf - see RULE

4 Data collection setup (pt1: Noise Sources) Firearms: 4.22 caliber Italian Model 314 Starter Pistol (2009, 2010, 2011).22 caliber K-22 Masterpiece Long Rifle (2010).32 caliber 6 shot H&R Model 960 Starter Pistol (2011).32 caliber 6 shot H&R Model 732 Pistol (2011) a matched set. (Courtesy of Paul Murphy)

5 Data collection setup (pt2: Data Capture) Instrumentation: 1/8 microphones (sens 1mV/Pa) 1/4 preamplifiers (Signal carrying capacity ±50V) Power modules (20dB attenuation available) A/D and Data Acquisition board (4ch sampling: 800kS/s, ±10V, 16-bit resolution) 5

6 Data Analysis Text files containing 1,600,000 entries. (4ch s 0.5sec sampled at 800kS/s data) Graphs and tables that make sense! MATLAB wizards performed DC offsetting, found peak SPL values, Leq s, A & B durations, averaging and generated graphs. 6

7 Experiment Setup (1. Directionality) 7 Mic0 (50cm left of muzzle) Mic1 (50cm front of muzzle) Mic2 (50cm right of muzzle) Mic3 (50cm behind muzzle, close to shooters ear)

8 Experiment Condition (1. Directionality).22 Caliber Directionality Study Ammo: Starter Pistol w/.22 short blank black powder Winchester Direction: Vertical Horizontal 8

9 Experiment Results (1. Directionality) Pa = 169dB Pa = 160dB Pa = 168dB 9

10 Experiment Conclusion (1. Directionality) Location of acoustic center? Very intense! 166dB SPLpeak at shooter s ear. (4000Pa) Why so intense? No bullet theory? 10

11 Experiment Setup (2. Comparison) Mic0 Shooters ear Mic1 10cm off Chamber Mic2 10cm off Muzzle Mic3 1.5m downrange 11

12 Experiment Conditions (2. Comparison).22 Caliber Comparison Study Firearm and Ammo: Starter Pistol w/.22 short blank black powder Winchester K-22 Masterpiece w/.22 long rifle CCI K-22 Masterpiece w/.22 short blank black powder Winchester K-22 Masterpiece w/.22 short Winchester 12

13 ear Starter Pistol w/ blanks K-22 w/ CCI LR K-22 w/ blanks K-22 w/ shorts 13

14 Experiment Results (2. Comparison) Averages over 5 shots mic0 mic1 mic2 mic3 Units 5cm shooter ear 10cm chamber 10cm muzzle 1.5m ahead of muzzle Starter Pistol Pa K-22 w/ CCI LR Pa K-22 w/ blanks Pa K-22 w/ shorts Pa Starter Pistol db K-22 w/ CCI LR db K-22 w/ blanks db K-22 w/ shorts db 14

15 Experiment Conclusion (2. Comparison) At the shooters ear a blocked barrel.22 caliber Starter Pistol produces significantly higher peak sound pressure levels (7-18dB) than a comparable.22 caliber pistol, regardless of ammunition. 15

16 Experiment details (3. Track Setup) 1) Conduct a.32 caliber comparison 2) Full scale track measurement.32 Pistol.32 Starter Pistol 16

20 Experiment Setup (Real World Setting) Olympic Lane width 1.22m 20

21 Experiment Setup (3.2 Track) Starter Pistol Noise at 3 designated locations. A. General High School recommendation: ~60cm inside the oval, 10m in front of the athletes. B. Alternative position that adheres to recommendations: inline with the athletes, 10m inside the oval. C. Worst case scenario: 3m inside the oval. A. B. C. 21

22 Experiment Setup (3.2 Track) 22

23 Experiment Results (3.2 Track) Shooter Lane 1 Lane 4 Lane 8 Units Mic0 Mic1 Mic2 Mic3.22 cal Pos A db Pos B db Pos C db.32 cal Pos A db Pos B db Pos C db A. Impulse Hazard for adults: 140dB (NIOSH) Impulse Hazard for kids: 120dB (WHO) B. C dB!!

24 Experiment Conclusion (3.2 Track) Use of Hearing protection is REQUIRED for shooter. Closest athletes and potentially some spectators are at risk according to current NIOSH and WHO guidelines. Question: Choice of starter? 24

25 Implications: Gun vs electronic NCAA Electronic Starter conditions: 112dB at 15 feet (5m) Using a Starter Pistol, which generates 166dB at 0.5m, the shooter will have to be 256 meters(!!) from the athletes to adhere to Electronic Starter requirements. 25

26 Implications: rule book change I thought you might be interested in new language in the 2012 National Federation Track & Field Book: Starters and Assistant Starters need to position themselves to fairly observe the start of each race. Positioning should minimize the exposure of competitors, officials and spectators to the report of the starting device. There is no further explanation. At a minimum, this is a small victory, and you and your group merit much credit. Paul Murphy 26
