The great majority of my leisure money is also spent on paintball and firearms. The increase of ammunition has come down some since covid started, but it’s still about 2-3x what the pre-covid ammo prices were. I think it’s safe to assume there are more firearm enthusiasts than paintballers, as well as additional political factors for firearms and ammo. The Russian ammo import ban is starting to be felt, and will likely make things worse.
Paintballs, without the same political factors, will likely see 10-30% increase like most other products. Going to 1600 at the same price is essentially a 25% increase, so maybe that will be it, or maybe the price will also increase 5%.
It stinks, but I don’t think switching hobbies to anything else with consumables or fees will escape the price increases.
