How is Muzzle Energy measured. I would like to make a project out of take my own measures. How can this be done?

I found this website that shows a calculated formula based on velocity and bullet mass.

Is this the only way to measure muzzle energy? or is there some kind of scale that you can also shoot at that gives a read out.

Thanks.

No athlete/youth can fight tenaciously who has never received any blows: he must see his blood flow and hear his teeth crack under the fist of his adversary, and when he is thrown to the ground he must fight with all his might and not loose courage... Anyone who can do that, can engage in battle confidently.

Costs less than $100 and will measure the speed of the bullet.  Then plug the weight of the bullet in grains and the velocity of the bullet in feet per second into this calculator:
