Are Expensive Paintballs More Accurate?
CSEF · 2002 Applied Mechanics/ Structures & Mechanisms/ Manufacturing
Overview
Objectives/Goals My project is to find out if the expense of a paintball matters in their accuracy. I believe that the more expensive paintballs are in fact less accurate then the non espensive paintballs. Methods/Materials I took one paintball gun and checked its velocity to make sure that the velocity would not change. Then I put the gun in a stationery stand and fired two types of paintballs at the target, expensive paintballs and non expensive paintballs. Then from the accuracy of the paintball I determined if the more expenisive paintballs were more acurate or not. Results The expensive paintballs were not accurate, while the non expensive paintballs were accurate. Conclusions/Discussion In conclusion, I found out that expensive paintballs are not more accurate then non expensive paintballs but they are in fact less accurate.
Summary statement
My project is about the accuracy of a paintball determined by its price.
