\section{Introduction}
Modern military practice in regards Participants were asked to
riflemanship hinges on repetitive drill in a few standard firing modes, until the rank and file learns an intuitive feel for projectile behavior, i.e. deviation from path, altitude loss over distance etc. In this manner, it is hoped that soldiers who need to return fire
do so instinctively, in reaction to the external world, no different than one learns to expect an oncoming cars behavior in an intersection. 50 meters is determined to be the maximum effective range of a soldier armed with five paintballs at a
M16-family assault rifle, assisted only with iron site (no magnification or focal point). target at 10, 20 and 30 m, and accuracy and shooting time was recorded.
This project examines The first null hypothesis is that there will be an even distribution in the
relationship between a subject's experience with firing projectiles, and their shooting accuracy. Shooting accuracy
here is defined as a function of
participants, irrespective of distance.
The alternate hypothesis to the first null hypothesis is that accuracy will be greatest at 10 m from the
spread target.
The second null hypothesis is that there will also be an even distribution in the shooting time of
a burst participants, irrespective of
five rounds (i.e. distance.
The alternate hypothesis to the
distance of each shot second null hypothesis is that shooting time will be fastest at 10 m from the
center target.
The single largest covariate variable that affects results is the experience of the
target), participants. It is expected that the
distance from shooter to target, category of experienced participants will have a faster mean shooting time, and
the time required to fire five rounds. also have a greater mean accuracy. Experience is defined here as having used a paintball marker before.
