Result Tables Staff Report How to interpret tables: The first column is the type of paint; Marballizer (Marb), ZAP Performance Plus (PP), Team Colors (TC), Zap Tequila Sunrise (ZAP), and Direct Hit (DH). The second column is the distance. All were shot from a distance of 55 feet. The Outliers column is what percentage of shots did not hit the target at all or were so far away from the rest of the grouping that it would be unfair to include them. So if a barrel lands all the shots in a 10x10 inch area, except for one which lands 2 feet away, it would be unfair to include that "off shot" in the rest of the results. In statistics these are called outliers. So if you have 10% outliers, that means that 10% of the shots were way off the mark. (not good) The Radius column list the size of the mark by taking the farthest two points vertically x the farthest two points horizontally. The Velocity column is a measurement of how close the velocities were. What we did is adjust the velocity of the paint for every paint and barrel so that it is between 270 and 300 fps, or what most paintball players play at. After that, we took 3 shots and gave the range that those three shots were in. For example, if we shot 270, 269, and 290, the range we'd give would be 369-290. If we shot 283, 283, 283, then the range in that column would be a perfect 283-283. The smaller the range the better the paintball and the better that barrel shoots that paintball.
