paintball experiments

[pink_floydmetal]

im in 7th grade and science fair is coming up. does any one have any experiments or tests that deal with paintball that i could do?

How soluable a paintball is

[shortman506]

why paint tastes the way it does.

what paintballs are made of, what temp it takes to melt a paintball, "measure the roundness of a piantball and see if it's perfectly round (its not). see how fast 300fps is (206mph), and see what other products have the same ingredeants as paintballs (tylonol soft gel caps, couph syrup, and crola wax, lol)... i think I'm giving you all the answers...

I would do something relating velocity and range as well as the accuracy of the shot. Like take shots at 160 fps, 180 fps, 200 fps, 220 fps, etc. and record each time how close the shot was to a target, how far it went, and the velocity.

I'd do something with ballistics(has something to do with the trajectory of an object or something). I'm guessing that you are firmiliar with newtons 3 laws of physics. You could go into detail about how certain forces affect the flight and trajectory of paint in flight along with some easy to do visual aids.

He's in the 7th grade:eyes: 7th grade is basic Math and Science.

you could do how your first high end gun works( impuls autococker) and tell poeple how it works. no one will probobly care but it'll help you when you get it.

that would be good. i was considering doing that for my science project this year.
bdaniel-i was taught newtons 3 laws of physics in 7th grade

[pink_floydmetal]

im po' i aint got none autococker or impulse

[Der Komandant]

I don't know about you guys but I learned about the three laws of physics in 7th grade. They're not really that complicated.

You could show how the distance you're at when you shoot someone relates to how big the whelt is:P .
