This experiment uses a REAL 20 gauge shotgun to fire a "bullet" into a catcher. The shell is loaded with just the primer load and not a full shotgun shell. A spark system measures how high the catcher swings backwards after catching the bullet and through an energy/momentum calculation you candetermine the bullet's speed as it leaves the gun.
