ABSTRACT: In 2009, the game of paintball got a huge technological improvement when shaped paintball projectiles were introduced to the market. Since then, companies have been developing marker platforms that operate and function reliably when using these shaped projectiles. For the most part, almost all these companies have been focusing on modifying existing equipment to reliably feed and fire the rounds. But, what was the effect of these modifications on the performance of those paintball markers? Since the inception of paintball, and leading up to the release of First Strike rounds, the main indicators of paintball marker performance were reliable feeding of round balls, velocity consistency, and air efficiency. Due to the inherent physical limitations of round smooth projectiles, often coupled with manufacturing or packaging imperfections, shot velocity was somewhat irrelevant at variations tighter than +/-5 fps because the markers were designed to shoot many rounds sequentially. With the introduction of shaped projectiles, a new type of play style became more practical the long range sniper role. Using these markers that are designed to fire the shaped projectiles, players can now effectively hit targets previously unreachable. Shot accuracy and repeatability have become much more important. Players are using scopes and they want to know that their round will hit close to where they are aiming. When in this situation, should players be concerned with shot to shot velocity variation? This paper attempts to answer the question: Does shot to shot velocity variation really matter? INTRODUCTION: Initially the purpose of this project was to evaluate the performance of the SAR12 second generation semi auto engine against the known performance of the bolt action engine. Within the group of Carmatech Beta Testers, we wanted to validate, or invalidate the design of the semi auto. In the early stages of this testing, our focus was on continuous improvement on tighter fps swings. Once the testing was completed and results of the semi auto engine were analyzed, curiosity set in as paintball players. We wanted to see what different platforms provided in terms of shot to shot velocity variation. To players, these tests can be valuable, regardless if they are just entering the market, or are already participating in magfed. In the science of statistics, in order to produce accurate normal distribution curves, which can predict future performance of that particular setup, we must use a sample size of 30 units or more. Using fewer units will more than likely tighten up the standard deviation (+/- fps in this case); however, it cannot be assumed to represent the total population. For example, let s look at a three shot string. 279 280 281 PAGE 3

From this given information we can calculate the average to be 280 fps. It would be common of players to say "This marker is performing at +/-1 fps This very small data set limits our "view" of that markers true capability. If we continued on with additional data points, the spread would widen. For example 279 280 281 279 278 277 281 282 285 281 Summary Report for 10 shot string Anderson-Darling Normality Test A-Squared 0.28 P-Value 0.552 280.30 StDev 2.26 Variance 5.12 Skewness 0.68577 Kurtosis 1.06223 N 10 278 280 282 284 Minimum 277.00 1st Quartile 278.75 Median 280.50 3rd Quartile 281.25 Maximum 285.00 95% Confidence Interval for 278.68 281.92 95% Confidence Interval for Median 278.66 281.34 95% Confidence Interval for StDev 1.56 4.13 95% Confidence Intervals Median 279 280 281 282 Figure 1: Summary Report of Above Population Notice how the first three shots that we believed to yield +/-1 fps results, no longer gives us that variation. With 10 shots, our standard deviation is now +- 2.26fps. In statistics, the minimum number of samples needed to ensure the data are normally distributed is 30. Normally distributed data makes analysis much easier and allows us to make assumptions about the population. Because of this, our study used a minimum of 30 samples yielded from each marker. PAGE 4

SHIFTING THE MEAN Another operation that was performed on each data set was to shift the mean of the data to 280 so that each shot graph would line up to the same point on the x-y axis. This was accomplished quite simply by the following method: 1. Determine the mean of the 30 measured velocity values. 2. Determine the difference between this mean and 280.00 3. Add this difference to each measured value. 4. The result has no effect on the statistics or for determining standard deviation as shown in the following example.

OBJECTIVE(S): The objectives of these tests are to: 1. Measure and document a 30 shot sample set per marker. 2. Using Minitab, calculate statistical information about each shot string, including standard deviation, mean, and whether the data are normal 3. Graph each sample sets velocity per shot 4. Graph the distribution, 5. Calculate the vertical shot offset of each shot at 100 yards and graph them 6. Note: These graphs will represent the best or ideal case scenario. This assumes that all other variables are ignored, such as wind, temperature, humidity, projectile weight / dimension differences, projectile imperfections, barrel to projectile match, barrel length, barrel characteristics.

Shoot through the sensors on the optical chronograph 4. Make needed adjustment to marker to get fps close to 280 5. Once adjusted, take another shot 6. Document velocity as displayed 7. Repeat, being cautious about repeating time interval between shots 8. Marker evaluation completed after 30 consecutive shots PAGE 7

9. Repeat steps two through eight with next marker 10. Calculate the mean of the shot string and shift to 280fps 11. Calculate the vertical shot offset from zero 12. Calculate the probability of velocity ranges for each marker 13. Derive the formula for vertical shot offset for each marker s data set to calculate the vertical offset at any velocity 14. Graph the vertical shot offset for each marker for each velocity range CALCULATING VERTICAL SHOT OFFSET FROM ZERO: In order to calculate the vertical impact point of a shaped projectile at a given velocity, ballistics software Hawke Chairgun Pro was used. First strikes have a known ballistics coefficient that was calculated from experimental data during the impact testing for the ASTM subcommittee. Go here to view the report: http://www.shapedprojectiletesting.com/ Velocities (from 200fps to 350fps) were plugged into the software, along with the ballistics coefficient, and the calculated points of impact were recorded. The resulting scatterplot yielded a 3 rd order quadratic curve, meaning the data relationships are nonlinear. We can then use nonlinear regression, with the velocity and impact points (all other variables ignored) to derive a formula for impact point distance from horizontal at a given velocity.

Figure 4: Derived Non-Linear 100 Yard Impact Equation Now that we have the equation for Vertical shot offset from zero at any given velocity, we can calculate the vertical shot offset variation for each 30 velocity shot string for each marker. For example, following are the SAR12 bolt action velocity data and the calculated vertical impact point variation: SHOT VELOCITY DROP FROM THEORETICAL DEVIATION BARREL AT POI @ 280 FPS FROM 100 YARDS @ 100 YRDS CENTER (INCHES) Shot # (FPS) (INCHES) (INCHES) 1 281-283 -286 2 2 281-284 -286 2 3 280-286 -286 1 4 281-283 -286 2 5 280-286 -286 0 6 281-283 -286 3 7 283-279 -286 7 8 283-278 -286 7 9 279-287 -286-2 10 281-283 -286 2 11 280-285 -286 0 12 280-286 -286 0 13 277-293 -286-7 14 279-288 -286-2 15 280-285 -286 1 16 279-288 -286-2 17 281-283 -286 2 18 281-283 -286 2 19 281-284 -286 2 20 277-293 -286-7 21 279-288 -286-3 22 279-288 -286-3 23 278-290 -286-4 24 280-285 -286 0 25 279-287 -286-1 26 280-285 -286 0 27 280-286 -286-1 28 278-289 -286-4 29 280-285 -286 1 30 280-285 -286 1 Table 2: Example Muzzle Velocities and Calculated Vertical Impact Points PAGE 9

CONCLUSIONS: Upon evaluating the data, we can conclude that 1. variation is important when trying to predict where the round will end up down range. If the target is a mask (10 ), a shooter needs to know where to aim to hit it, especially if the target is partially hidden behind a tree or in a window. Sometimes one or two shots is all a player has to make a hit. If a marker cannot perform with consistent velocity (small variation), the chances are high that the round will miss the target. An important note here is that we also know as paintball players that velocity consistency is not the only indicator of shot accuracy or repeatability on a target. For example, a marker with a 1 barrel could provide a shot string with a tight fps variation, but expected performance downrange 100 yards, would be questionable. The point is, we found that a marker must start with velocity consistency to have a chance of being repeatable on target down range; HOWEVER, there are many other variables come into repeatable flight paths. 2. The design of the G2 semi auto has exceeded expectation for repeatability performance 3. Properly matched systems (reg, valve train, barrel, projectile) give the greatest consistency in terms of absolute velocity deviation. 4. With the high end markers taking many variables out of the equation for the consumer, the projectile itself becomes the limiting factor. Round to round deviations, both dimensionally and in weight, create a significant portion of fps variation. For example, after sorting the rounds by weight, Beta Member Matt was able to reduce the Dye Dam's +/- 2.80 fps down to +/- 1.91 fps! This process if very tedious, and as shown, limits a players quantity of a specific weight. Within one box, the weight can very as shown in Figure 1 in the appendix. Case in point is the CCM SR1. This marker was tested with CO2 and HPA with both out of the box first strike rounds, and Matched weight first strike rounds. The resulting standard deviation was noticeable. The SSR (HPA) with matched weight First strike rounds saw the standard deviation drop from +-2.23fps to +- 1.52 fps. See figures A-2 and A-3 in the Appendix. 5. As players and manufacturers, we must be very cautious of how we perceive and discuss particular equipment and there capabilities. As discussed in the introduction, shooting a three shot string across a radar chrono will not give you either sufficient or accurate data to formulate any conclusion. Radar based chronographs are capable of holding +/- 3% deviation. At 300 fps, 3% equates to a possible deviation up to +/- 9 fps. Optical chronographs; however, typically are accurate to sub 1%. This yields a measuring capability at 300 fps to be +/-3 fps max. 6. As players and manufacturers, there are many other variables that need to be evaluated, along with velocity consistency, to truly understand the real world expectation of a marker s shot to shot performance on a target at 100 yards. As a group, we plan on continuing to scientifically identify, study, and quantify the other variables when shooting fluid filled projectiles at long distances! PAGE 20
