    how much paint per game?

    so how much paint do you use per game? what type of game? and is it with ramping, electronic or mechanical?

    last few times I went out I limited myself to 200 rounds per game. We were playing 5 on 5 woodsball. This was with an ion on semi (lent my ep mag out to a friend and the bushy's velocity went to crap) and a revy. The revy helps a lot in limiting my rof, as soon as I put on a halo I was back to using pods.

    No matter what type of game or how long I think it'll last (only woods ball) I limit myself to a halo and 2 pods, and most time I bring the pods as a just in case thing and will only use a hopper.

    Typically I'll do ~1000 rounds in about 4 hours of woodsball

    Edit: oh yeah, I only shoot mech guns.

      My rounds typically last about 15 minutes (woodsball) and in that time I generally let about 70 balls loose.

      I play semi as well.

      I'm just not into shooting 30 times at one person, but I do waste a lot of shots with cover fire.
      I generally wait for a kill though, Until they are close enough that I can pop of 2 or 3 shots and hit them.

        I only bring a Halo full, no pods. For woodsball.

        Electric and mech, always on semi. It's suppose to be fun for everyone, where's the fun with a 30 bps on ramping against rentals? You want everyone to enjoy the day and to come back for more.

        I even reduce the bps on the electric for fun sometimes. Want to experience what pump play is like but don't have one? Set it to 1bps against semi

          Always depends on the game. But for a 15 minutes woodsball game I would say a hopper and that's about it.
          Unless I decide at the beginning of the day that I want to use all my 2000 rounds to finish my paint.. well then I just tell people I will cover fire a lot and just shoot it all

          But I usually use about 100-200 balls for a 15 minutes woodsball game with my mech Tac-One.

              I carry a Sportshot full and 3x50 rd pods on the field for a total of about ~250 rounds playing speedball (hyperball or concept speedball fields) rotations, 10 mins games, generally 3-8 players per side. I can usually make it through 3 games so I guess that's about 50-80 balls a game. ~ 700-1000 balls in a 4-5 hour session. mQ sniper.

                  I almost always play with a pump these days. Less than 200 rounds per day.

                    I'm notouriously known for shooting way too much paint. But if somebody askes for cover fire, i'm all to happy to give it. Usually i limit myself to a case per day of play and if its running low at the end of the day, i'll play more conservatly. That, or the phantom comes out of the bag.

                        Whether its woods or the arena:

                        1 pack

                        6 pods on the pack

                        1 pod = 160 rounds

                        960 rounds + hopper per game


                        I like to shoot paint, and I enjoy visiting with the guys at the parks.

                        If I dont shoot 4 cases,.... I was running something other than an AGD product.

                        (I shoot 2 cases with my sniper 2)

                          Shooting my mag I'll carry a halo and 2 pods, with a pump I'll carry less than 50 balls.

                            I really was thinking about getting a pump to cut down paint usage....but then again I was thinking about making a single trigger pnuemag too

                              I usually split a 500 bag with two other people for a day, of course that is with a pump. Last time I played with a semi, I used about 400 rds. I guess that after playing with pump for so long, that I play similar with a semi.
