Airsoft Lab Report
Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to find out who could shoot the gun the accurate or precise.
Hypothesis: If the shooter is more experienced in shooting, then the BBs would be more accurate and precise.
Materials:
KWC S&W 1911 45 caliber Airsoft gun
Crosman Sticky Target
Goggles
BBs for gun
Ruler
Procedure:
1. Ask for 4 volunteers to do this experiment.
2. Load the Airsoft gun with BBs.
3. Ask volunteers to put on goggles in case of ricochet and show them how to pull back the barrel.
4. Tell them to shoot once, then wait till results are recorded, then shoot again. (Total shots: 5)
5. Tell volunteers to keep gun pointed down after shooting.
6. Set up the Sticky target.
7. After each shot, go up to the target and, using the ruler, measure how far the BB is from the center of the target and record results.(The lower the number, the more accurate.)

Conclusion:
This lab was done so that we could see the differences between experienced and inexperienced shooters. The results of this lab support my hypothesis correct, showing that Matthew, being the most experienced of the four volunteers, shot the most accurate and precise. However, I believe that if someone that was inexperienced, but lucky enough to somehow get 4 bulls-eyes, then it would have proven my hypothesis false. Other factors could also have changed the outcome of this experiment, such as the size of the target, a different gun, the weight of the gun, the distance from the target, the aiming
