 * DETERMINING WHAT NERF GUN IS THE MOST ACCURATE **

The main purpose of this experiment was to figure out what the most accurate NERF gun is out of three guns. The three NERF guns that were tested are The Jolt, The Maverick, and The Retaliator. It was thought that The Retaliator would be the most accurate gun because it is a sniper and snipers are supposed to be accurate. Also it was thought that The Retaliator would be the best because it has the most firepower and the bullet would stay straight longest. All three of the NERF guns were fired at a target with ten rings. It was measured where they hit on the target for the experiment. Each gun was shot three times at the target and the average was taken of where they hit. The Maverick was the control because it is most commonly bought. The results showed that the Retaliator was the best and The Jolt was the worst. One way to improve the experiment is to get a bigger target because it was very hard to hit the center of the target and the results would be better if the target was bigger. Another way to improve the experiment is to get more NERF guns so there is more to compare to. One future experiment is to figure out the most accurate gun in a class like snipers, pistols, etc. One last future experiment is to figure out the NERF bullet that shoots the furthest. That is what happened in the experiment.
