Popis:	We compute a Monte Carlo approximation of �� using importance sampling with shots coming out of a Mossberg 500 pump-action shotgun as the proposal distribution. An approximated value of 3.131 is obtained, corresponding to a 0.33% error on the exact value of ��. To our knowledge, this represents the first attempt at estimating �� using such method, thus opening up new perspectives towards computing mathematical constants using everyday tools. Correct minor typos, refine data analysis by using different subsets of the samples to estimate density and estimate {\pi}. Results have not changed significatively
