How many pods do you carry

[puckmaster]

How many pods of paint do you carry in a game of recball, or in tournaments. How much do you actually use?

Personaly, durring rec-ball, i carry four pods, and use mabey a hopper and 2 pods. Durring tournaments, i carry 7 pods and i usually use 5 and a hopper.

[xadamx]

3 all the time, i might up to 5 at our next tourny tho

rec ball i rarely drop a pod in a game, ill usually use one pod in a tourny

[puckmaster]

only 1 a game in a tournament? wow.

[xadamx]

so far ive only played 3 man tournies

[Cryer]

I always carry 4 pods. I don't think I've ever emptied all of them in one game. In a 3-man tournie we had this past weekend, I would use (on average) a hopper and 1 pod per game. It was only 3-man, so the games went quickly

[puckmaster]

okay, that makes sense. i've played 5-mans and i dumped 5 pods and a hopper, and in three mans, about 2 pods and a hopeer. Accuracy by volume baby.:cool:

[govnamac]

8-10
Never shot more than 7 + hopper, but need to be safe.:D

[oneshot]

depends on the size, but for 10 man,

13

5 man, 5-7,

3 man, 5

[Curly]

I carry and shoot 12-13 pods for 7man.

[dcmander]

4 pods of 120 for 3man and 5man.

[davidnj]

4 pods in rec ball use 1 usually.

haven't done a tourny yet so I dunno.

[NJPaint]

rec: 8 pods, use maybe a pod a game total (100 rnds), I hate going off the field in between games for rec.

Tourneys, 3-5, shoot a hopper + 2 tubes

[Frank (the spank)]

9 150rd pods + my hopper.

E-mags can really throw paint, lol

Last game I played was a rec game and part of a tourny team was on my team, 1 guy asked me to hold a spot while he flanked. after the game he said "Man I was getting worried leaving you alone with 5 men comming your way but I heard you lay down some serious paint and I knew you were doin' ok"

hehehe.. I like to hear that. Loaded down with paint and my E-mag I was holding my ground.

[RT pRo AuToMaG]

I carry 6 pods and a hopper on the field, usually shoot 4 pods and rec and shoot myself dry in a tourney. I carry 140 rd pods.

EDIT: Oh, I cary 4-5 in rec, but hardly ever HAVE to use more than one + hopper, but when i get a job and i am able of afford the paint, I will carry a lot more and dump, just because it is fun.

Normally, even in tournaments, I don't carry more than 3 pods. Last 5 man I played in I shot my hopper, and never reloaded. Didn't do to bad either, for a pick up team. I only shoot a hopper, normally. I dig accurate fire, not nessarily volume.

My brain is just not wired to hose. If I'm REALLY shooting paint, I can actually shoot 4 pods in a single game. But that's if I'm REALLY working hard at it. Mostly, I shoot my guys, I get my job done, and I don't waste a lot of paint doing it.

Big games, I'll carry 3. At Shatnerball I had 3 on me all times. Not to hose, just because I may be OUT THERE for 3 hours, and I hate running out. That and at Shatnerball, I did a header in Armageddon, and landed on the pod. breaking all the paint in it. Didn't realise that'till I reached for it. Glad it was a clear pod too...

[Jeffy-CanCon]

In rec I usually carry 2x100rd pods, but rarely empty more than hopper+1. Usually playing with a pump.

In tourneys or big games 5x100rds.

[PzYcO]

Ive NEVER shot more than 2 pods + a hopper in ANY game =X

[i-luv-my-rt]

I carry 10 in 7-man. I've only shot out the whole pack twice in Huntington and I carry 12-13 for 10-man, i can usually shoot all that.

[jdev]

rec ball: 6 150rd tubes plus hopper

5 man: 4 150rd plus hopper

[shartley]

I play Rec Ball ONLY. And I usually carry 2 pods when at public fields. But I normally only shoot a hopper or a hopper and one pod per game. If I don’t “win” or get tagged out, I am not trying hard enough. So that is always my goal.. one of the other. ;)

On my own field, I like to play hopper ball.

[jaylock33]

4 150 but realy use more than a hopper and 1 pod.

[ugabiged88]

For recball I carry three pods onto the field just incase, but I generally only use a hopper or a hopper and one pod.

[Mr Pink]

Front player and 7 pots - I'll leave 3 or 4 full pots at key bunkers on the 40's and 50's for when my back players move up;) and the psych factor of the whole team carrying between 7 and 13 pots in a 7-man is funny too:D

[BetaMax]

Ok, here is a question for those of you who carry 6+ (150 round) pods and also use a E-Mag with L10 bolt. What air tank you use to be able to shoot all that paint?

I have a E-Mag Micro with L10 bolt and a Dynaflow 68/4500 tank and can normally get about 4-6 pods plus hopper when I have a full tank at 4500.

[dmonahan]

Play back, Carry 9 and if I stay alive I will shoot 7-8 in a game that goes close to time (we play 7 man)

[TigerMan]

Well since I only have a 3 pod pack, for 3 man tournies (only kind I've played), I take them all. For rec, I usually use at least a hopper and 1 pod, 2 at most.

[Thordic]

About 20-30....


...10 round tubes :)

[hornet6233]

i carry 5 no matter what the format.
just do it for the practice of playing with a pack.

in rec i may shoot a hopper a game, in tourny i shoot a hopper + a pod. i may even dig into a second pod.

Then again im only playing 3man.

[Torbo]

im rec i usually use just a hopper full, but i carry 2 pods anyway. In the 3 man tourneys, i carry 3, because that how big my harness is.

[GT]

I play hopper ball at my local Rec, however if it looks like the newbs are loading up w/ 1/2 case then I grab 3 140 rnd fat boys.

It can be kinda tricky filling a rico w/ 140rnd tubes:D

[cris8762]

i usually carry 3 pods and a full evo2 in rec play and end up using 2 pods and a hopper per game (usually more, i was dumping 2 and a hopper during rec 3man games with a stock framed mag!)

when i play 3man tourneys i usually carry 4-5 pods plus a hopper and use 3-4 per game, 5man i carry 7 and use 4-5 plus a hopper...i love having a job only for paintball:D

[karphead]

During rec games I'll use a hopper, if that. I carry 4 pods though...I'm lazy and every so often I'll need to lay down some serious paint.

For big games and tourney's I'll usually take 6...never used more than hopper+1 in a tourney though, my back players more than make up for that though. The big games I carry 6 just so I wont need to hike back to get more very often. 6 usually last me the whole day.

[Rmarks]

I carry 5-7 for recball(depending on what Dimension pack I bring to the field), Most I've dropped is a hopper and 6 pods in a rec game. I've never played in a tourney so I can't say.

[FistS]

I carry, at the most, 5 pods in rec. Havn't played a tourny yet, hoping to change that this summer though:)

I usually shoot a hopper and 2-3 pods a game....

I love laying down paint:)

[jayloo]

rec ball indoor field = 1 hopper only
rec outdoor = take 5 use 2
3 man tourney = take 5 use 3

[Lopy-slopy]

I only play rec and never use more than a hopper a game. Some of the numbers you guy's are giving are insane. The trend in tourneeys seems to be 1 pod per opponent plus a hopper which to me seems insane.

[MarkM]

5 man = 4 possible 5 pods
7 man = 5 maybe 8 pods
10 man = 8 pods and a double pod grenade so 10 total

All plus the hopper

[dropkick1]

i usually just fil my redz dimension pack with 3, b/c its the 3.2 but i hate the little loops so i never use em and wouldn't, so i take 3 with me, sometimes i use them sometiems i don't.

Thats so true. At the last 7man we played we had front guys carrying 7+ pods for just that reason..

[Sparq]

Usually 2/3, sometimes 5. Most of the time I just carry the 3 inner pods, and the middle one is empty.

[FalconGuy016]

3 100 round pods, I think 3 times EVER have I actually needed to use one

[Lopy-slopy]

If you only play rec you will usualy never need pods, depending on how you play. Lots of guy's at my feild just use them to hold their paint because there are no lockers with locks at my feild and it cost alot less to buy a case than 200 at a time.

[Jerhew]

last time i played at EMR
i shot through 6 150's and my hopper in one game...like 1100 balls
i was the only man left against like 7
i finally got shot out...me with one ball left in the chamber
