yeah carrying a whole case on your back would be a great idea....oh wait.......no.....it's not.

well, some players do carry a case of paint w/ them on the field.

figure 12 150 round pods+ 200 rounds in the hopper

paint is cheap. when i started playing i played $93 for a case of RPS premiums online.

i payed well over that for crappy paint, but then again half a case was plenty for a LOOOOONG day of play, today that's only one semi-intense hyperball match. good quality paint needs to be in the $30 area and i bet it will be someday, but not as long as we continue to think it's okay to pay $50-70 a case for permium quality paintballs. remember when cd's cost $20....and we liked it? times change, the sport is still relatively young and unfamiliar to many people...in time that will change and we will reap the benefits of lower costs......of course enthusiasts will pay premium costs for what they love to do, but if this sport is ever going to be taken seriously by the mainstream public then we'll need to get more non-enthusiasts out on the fields and the only way is to lower costs of paint/rental fees. let's face it, if the average person has a choice between spending $80-100 for one day of paintballing or playing another sport which does not have the same overhead costs plus they have enough money to go drinking afterwards, what do you think they will choose?
