New Computerized Method for Evaluating Marksmanship from Weaponeer Printouts

Abstract

This report describes a new method for analyzing marksmanship using printouts from the Weaponeer, an M-16 shooting simulator. The printout shows where shots hit a target silhouette. A digitizing tablet and a computer program written in BASIC are the foundations for the new method. The tablet is used to record the X and Y locations of each shot and marksmanship proficiency. Descriptions of the program, associated mathematical concepts, and a listing of the microsoft program are included. Keywords: Firing error indicators; Digitizing; X and y coordinates; Centroid; Horizontal and vertical deviation; Horizontal and vertical range; Area of shot group.
