4 pods. I can go almost a day with my one hopper though in normal play. I just like to be prepared just in case I want/need to use more.

Front/Mid I carry around 20, technically there not pods more like tubes since they hold 10 paintballs :D Im going to get two 12 gram wrist holders and use them to hold some tubes, so I will be carrying about 10 tubes.

When im not using my Phantom I carry 3 pods, however I never even go through half of one in a single game.

I carry 4 pods with me always, most games I dont use any pods usualy, but sometimes I use a few

edit, I forgot to say I am a front/mid player, and that was for rec ball. I havnt played in any tournamens since I got back into paintball.

i allways carrie about 2-4 pods on me

on speed ball.

i dont shoot alot. i only laydown paint when i need to.

im one of thouse paint savers cuse i used to wast paint and then when i need paint at the end of a tournement or end of rec day i dont have enough.

on a average day of playing i shoot about 1/4 to a half of my hopper a game. depending on who im playing and what i need to shoot.

on a tournement i shoot about half to 3/4 of a hopper at a time.

I only play rec ball but usually it's against some stiff competition. I play front almost all the time, and I only carry what's in the hopper. I rarely shoot more than 100 rounds per game while using the Mag or my Mini Cocker; less with the Sniper II. Movement is definately more effective than firepower.

Hopperball rules!

usually I take out 3 use 1, I play frontman but I am more of a distraction guy then anything else. When I shoot the other team knows they messed up. ;)

rec ball- front (we kinda have a team...) but i keep down the guys with the fast guns, let the rental kids get them out... and teach them what to do. (ive got about 20+ people into the sport that way...)

i carry 4, try to only use one, but end up using about 2 or so...

playin rec at my local field, games can last 20 minutes or so. so i'll take 3 or 4 pods out with me, but i'll usually only use two

jetgirl

front/middle

I carry 3 pods plus full hopper; typically I use no more than 1 pod per 10 minute session.

06-16-2005, 03:20 AM
Position: Front

Practice - Hopperball, or 1 pod/full halo

Tourny - 3 pods/full halo - depending on who we play and how long, I usually shoot most of it

usmc8892
06-16-2005, 04:04 AM
full halo and 4 pods...rarely, if ever, run out of paint during a game, even with my emag or '05 speed

Maggot6
06-16-2005, 05:39 AM
Rec Ball, playing mid usually waste about 2 pods, but carry 3. But then again the 12 volt revvy and a warp do hold alot more than a halo...

06-16-2005, 07:47 AM

slow days maybe just 1 but i like to wear the pack it give me some back suppoit when i lean

5 man/back right tape

I usually carry 4 pods and a full hopper. In a Rec game where we turn it around, I'll go through 4 pods and generally have some left in my hopper. In tournaments/practice, it's not uncommon for me to drop all 4 pods in the course of a game. I'm usually holding down home plate and whatever's on my tape side so I try to not let up.

TheTramp
06-16-2005, 08:31 AM
I generally carry 7 pods plus the hopper. That's for either back (tourny style) or scenario games (1/2 hour plus). Of course once I get through those MY Mag is out of air so more paint would be pointless.

White_Noise
06-16-2005, 10:02 AM

how many pods do u carry on the field,how many of them do u use,and wut position do u play?

its just sumtin ive been wondering how much people acually shoot


I play back/mid and I wear a 5/5 Harness. I rarely put more than 4 or five in however.
I found that as the day progresses on, i.e, Getting close to the last game, I shoot more paint.
I figure,' Eh. Last game of the day. I really need to dump half a case at this guy.'

Aslan
06-17-2005, 03:47 PM
4 pods if I remember to fill them between games.

I usually have a full hopper...maybe use a pod or two. I've only once or twice went through a hopper and into the 4th pod...most of the time 3 pods and a hopper is more than enough. Half the games, just the hopper and one pod does fine. :ninja:

XtremeC
06-17-2005, 03:52 PM
lets see on a 5vs5... hmmm i put only 5 paintballs in my hopper, thats all i need





































I WISH THAT WAS ALL I NEED!!! ummm, not sure how many pods yet, still a newbie

KapitalJin
06-17-2005, 04:14 PM
Mainly back, sometimes front. sometimes I dont even need pods but I like to be safe and carry 4. haha...

How are these back players making it on on just 4 or 5 pods?

How are these back players making it on on just 4 or 5 pods?

If I were playing home plate, I would most certainly shoot more. 5 pods is pushing it on my right tape. I usually shoot just about all of it.

I carry 3 when I am making long runs off the break, 5 if I am laning off the break.

HarrysSon
06-17-2005, 06:56 PM
carry 5 but only use 2 usually and Im mid (front when Im in mood)

afultz075
06-17-2005, 10:25 PM
Depending on number of people playing, usually I just play hopperball, but if there's a large turnout i'll carry 2 pods

At scenarios i'll load up 6 140 rnd. pods into my pack so I can stay in for a LONG time if need be.

JRingold
06-17-2005, 11:02 PM
How many 10-ball tubes count as a pod? I usually carry 20, 10-ball tubes and six 12-grams if I'm not using HPA. Oh, wait, that's another thread...


Usually three pods when playing with a semi-auto, because then I can run out of paint and air at the same time.
