Nerve - Chrono Data

WARPIG Ballistic Labs Test Results 
Test Subject: Smart Parts Nerve - Rapid fire comparison 
Paintgun and Air System: Nerve stock - Max Flo 4500-68 - .687"ID paint matched Freak Barrel 
Variable: Rate of fire 
Chronograph strings:  Each string represents three groups of 10 shots fired at listed intervals under microprocessor control. 
Temp: 78 F
Paint: DraXxus Hellfire

The data did indicate an average shoot-down when fired at 14 shots per second, a realistic, on field high rate of fire, as opposed to 1 shot per second.  It must also be considered that timing and regulator settings were in the stock configuration, and fine tuning may improve efficiency.

Understanding the Summary Data

High: This represents the highest velocity in the recorded string of shots.

Low: This represents the lowest velocity in the recorded string of shots.

E.S.: Extreme Spread - this is the difference in velocity between the highest velocity shot and the lowest velocity shot.

Ave: Average - this is the average velocity of the string of shots.  This is the number to look at to compare whether velocity is increased overall, or decreased overall by a change in a variable.

S.D.: Standard Deviation - S.D. Is a mathematicall way of expressing how close most of the shots are to the average.  The lower the Standard Deviation is, the more consistent the velocity is.

95%: This is an easier to understand way of expressing consistency.  Statistically, there is a 95% chance than a given shot will vary this amount or less from the average.
