Looks like fun to me.
Didn't scrutinize their tests, but seems like they conduct due diligence... so that's a big plus in my book. I'll watch it closer when I have more time.
I've been interested in these styles of tests for a while. We've been thinking up ways to set up test tanks and bench mounts.
Here's another series of tests that I found interesting:

It seems many companies conduct tests as ways of valididating their design, rather than a tool in developing prototypes. Nevertheless, I find in depth studies of this nature admirable. I just wish that more of the results made their way to public domain.
Here's one of Dapiran's articles on ballistics:

Most of those tests can be done in our materials lab or in a computer simulation. However as fuzz said these only serve as validation. The end result can be determined way before a prototype is made.
