      I take 5-7pods. My position is mid/back but I like to know that I have the paint if needed.

            3 and a hopper..

            The closest i've ever come to using them all is when to of them spilt when taking them out of my pack.. I ran out of paint at the end of that game..

              I own 2 Lasoya Timmies each with Halo "Backman" TSA (220 rd) hoppers & Crossfire 91/45 hpa tanks.

              I sometimes like to carry both at tha same time ( with debounce set to one) and shoot two-handed, but only against 'noobs in rec-ball.
              :o
              I modified a Redz comfort pack to carry 11 tubes each in the front & rear & when I'm feelin really frisky I'll add a two-pod pouch to each hip.

              Aside from all the rattling it really is an effective setup as I can lay SO much paint I really dont even have to aim.

              The only problem I've run into is how to load two guns at the same time (I'm usually reloading at least one every 10-15 seconds). Since I have more money than I know what to do with, I'm thinking of buying a few extra hoppers & just ditching the pods alltogether. I could rig a harness to carry like eight Halos & I'll just toss 'em away when they're empty.

              I play front.

                    I carry four pods and a hopper (~800 rds) in the tourneys around here. It allows me to shoot and move the entire game. The games are about 3 - 5 min. I will be almost out of paint at the end of 5 min.
                    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

                      pods

                      I carry 4 150rnd pods in tournaments or rec play. Scenario play, I usually carry those 600 round plus about 600 more = 1200 rounds, which is about what my mag can shoot before I am pretty well out of air.

                      I switched from a 68 to a 92 tank this year, so I should never really have any air problems.

                      might pick up a 45/4500 for indoor play though

                        I carry 4 150 round pods as a front man, but I will rarely shoot more than a hopper and maybe a pod in a game. (My backmen make sure I'm sent to my death long before that) The other 3 pods are for when the crap hits the fan and I am forced to start crossing up.

                          well I had been carrying 5 140s + hopper/warp full,

                          got a bigger tank, got a bigger pack 5+4 with 5 140s(still waiting on the last 4-5 140s to come in, but for now I stuck some 100s just because...


                          Hopper off the break, go from there, I rarely go all out in pratice and rec and drop em all(because well, untill we pick up a paint sponsor that really loves us, I cant afford too ) Tourneys Ive droped my 5 and 2 of my fronts, and a hopper, that was 3 man... Makes a back guy relise why he keeps his front guys around

                            2, though im currently looking for a good 2pod pack. Redz seem to be the best bet. As far as pods, I have been using the VL ones forever (100 round) I want to upgrade to some 140rnd pds. Anyone rec. a name? The JT quickpods or whatever look alrighty.

                              JT pods suck

                              i'd suggest some PMI/Evil pods

                              they come in colors, the plastic is basically indestructible, and the lid has a nice tight snap to it, so you'll feel safer about paint not dumping out when you pull it out of your harness... unlike the DYE ones which open at the slightest hand gesture :o
