It seems reasonable to first figure the velocity of the hammer for key velocity as if it were in total compliance, then figure a compliance value, then find that combination of inertia, mass, leverage, whathaveyou that sees the maximum amount of hammer velocity for key velocity coincide best with the saturation point of the action. Yes ? RicB
