How much action do yours get?

[Patron God of Pirates]

In looking at the getting back into paintball thread I saw the advice given to go out and play some before committing to a build. I agree whole heatedly. Reason being, I have six full Mag builds with enough parts lying around to build at least two more working Mags. But a rarely use anything but my first PneuMag. It just feels right. It does what I want it to do the way I want it done.

I know most of us have multiple builds. So I got to wondering.

How many markers do you have?
Do you predominantly use just one of them?
Why?

Used the chord mag all day Saturday, first time in a couple years at least.

Rest of the paintball stuff was still in transit from Tunaball.

I was surprised that I really wasn't getting out shot even though I was just one finger plinking.

Saw a couple other mags there too which was a nice surprise.

I think I have 7 complete and working guns and I also have a friends Ego in my possession that I can use anytime I want so basically 8 guns.

I pretty much only use my CCM S6, the exception being on stock class day where I use my Phantom. I keep telling myself I need to use my mag more and hopefully this year I actually will. I've come to the realization that the only way that will happen is if I don't pack my S6.

I have around 10 working guns plus 4 project guns. 3 mech Tippmanns, Tippmann C3 propane pump, Thumper, Phantom, Marq Rapper, AKA Viking, RT Classic, and F1 Illustrator are all up and working. Tippmanns never get used but 2 are historical pieces to me (Procarbine and C3) while the other 2 are sentimental/not worth selling (first 98 and A5 I built.) Thumper and Phantom get swapped back and forth decently but lean more towards my Phantom since it was what pushed me into other parts of paintball. Rapper is my go to, always works and shoots awesome. Viking used to be brought out more but had some issues so it got put on the shelf, hope to take it out more this year. RT Classic is a new addition this year that I've already had out and enjoyed. Want to build up an X-valve mag and get a SHP tank for some sweet RT action. F1 hasn't been brought out yet but might come out this weekend at an Old School event. Got 3 cocker projects, 2 near completion and 1 still needing anno. Long haul project is an E-bolted 98 that still needs lots of work.

I've only got two markers. I use my mag as a primary.

She's put in some decent time since I picked her from Tunaman.

Around 3 days per week play time. Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

On Friday, it's 'Bring your own paint' day... I shoot upwards of around 2 cases that day.
Thursday and Saturday about a 1000rds per day.

Past 20 years I've only shot mags. In 2008 i went from a Minimag to a ULE and currently I sold that to my nephew to fund my current Phoenix mag build. I never understood the point in having alot of guns. I just focus on making one everything I want from a gun and play with it twice a month atleast. Even play all 4 seasons.

You can do this a couple different ways if you play regularly.

1) you set up a regular rotation of guns, so that all the guns get play.

2) you have set guns for certain situatuions. Like a mini roster for those days. Woodsball, walkon, speedball. This means you have would have to play all sorts, to get the rotation going.

3) you use what you feel like and put away the standbys that you always use. For me, i will use my DM4, or multiple B2Ks or the newest or most recently worked on gun for a time.

4) supply multiple people with guns so that you may not use them all, but they are getting some use.

I built a Mag pistol, and I've acquired others in the past couple years. I'm making a trip to play this weekend, and I'm only taking the pistol and Mjolnir. They're my babies. At some point, I'd like to become proficient at using all of them, once they're working, but I've got my go-to's until I can play more regularly.

How do you turn a 4000 round trigger finger into a 1000 rounder in one day ?

Is there a switch somewhere I havent found yet ?

In first reading the thread title I was going to say... Every other night on average... but I'm newly married so yeah..

[blackdeath1k]

Currently I've got 2 functioning mags. And one not totally together. My main marker is my classic automagRT that I've had since the late 90s. The other functioning mag is my wife's. It gets used when she gets to play. I'd like to finish my third. But its currently missing 2 parts.

[Cyco-Dude]

i've got a few 'mags...

i bring one or two "new" ones out every time i play. hopefully this year i'll downsize significantly, and just commit to a few that i really like playing with.

It's hard! A major contributing factor is the price of field paint on Thursday and Saturday.

Hmmm,

Ive got around 30+ish markers.
I only play about 3 times a year if Im lucky.

The ones that get used very regularly are my Phantom, Pumpmag, Adrenline Impluse and occasionally by BPS Reflex. Most of the others really only sit.
I do plan on my FN being used once its done.

Yes I have guns that I never plan on using. My Nemesis Autococker is one.

The reasons I use these has alot to do with the style of play I have evolved into. Ive done the electro thing for years. Found I prefer pump play much more. Its a different pace and mentality generally. Which explains the phantom & pumpmag. The Impluse is used alot when I need a electro. Simply because it always works without issue.
The BPS reflex is for when I want to use something in between and still have a option of faster.

I'd have to says, three time a year isn't "used regularly".
