Whenever somebody picks up a nerf gun, two of the things they are most concerned about are how far the gun can shoot, and how accurate the gun is to fire. To measure both of these capabilities, we set up two tests.
Distance Study
Set Up: Guns were fired indoors from a horizontal orientation from 33.5" above the ground, and the position where the ammo first hit the ground was measured. The gun was held very steady when being shot so that no extra forward momentum was imparted on the projectile. Tests were performed indoors, so there was no wind or other distractions.
Big Bad Bow: 19.0, 19.2, 18.10, 18.10, 17.10, 17.2, 19.0, 19.1, & 18.7 (Average 18' 7")
Rapid Fire 20: 18' - 22' Spread
Buzz Saw: 26.10, 29.4, 29.5, 30.1, 32.2, 32.9, 29.3, 30.4, & 31.4 (Average 30' 2")

Accuracy Study
Set Up: 3 people without previous nerf gun experience were selected at random to participate in the study. Each person was instructed to stand 17' away from a target and fire with each separate nerf gun at the target. Pictures were taken in order to discern their accuracy. Then one of our group members, after practicing with all three guns, did the same accuracy test and the results were recorded as well. By testing both groups, we will be able to figure out how easy each gun is to aim for a beginner, and for somebody with more experience.
