1. An apparatus for monitoring projectile emission, comprising:
- a device configured to emit a projectile;
a sensor unit including an accelerometer, the accelerometer being configured to output a first signal indicative of an acceleration caused by the emission of the projectile by the device; and
a processor unit configured to generate and output a second signal indicating whether the projectile has been emitted, based on the first signal output from the accelerometer.
