Yeah, good point. If the projectile pass through the plate it would definitely be a problem. Would maybe be a good idea to only use it at longer ranges when the projectiles won’t pass through anymore. Or better plates.

For the vibrations, I have experimented a bit with potting the electronics inside the enclosure. Will see how it holds up after taking it to the range.
