So, is paint usage getting excessive

[Lohman446]

So, the team I am playing wiht is going to Chicago open. We are not kidding ourselves, we expect to play the 8 prelim games and have a great party.

I was just curious, for a five man team, who else thinks 30 cases of paint is excessive that I have sitting at the proshop waiting for us?

that sounds about right

thats about right if you can't hit the ground when you spit.

Oh, you must have seen me play.

My general game plan is to make luck overcome my lack of skill, and spray the field with paint... now you understand why I play front, no one wants me playing back behind them

[vonort]

you might want to pick up another 10 cases. just in case.

[Blazestorm]

Eh... my friend's, CDR they played division 3 x-ball and shot 70 cases...

I don't see how someone could actually do that... The paint usage and ROF is starting to get insane and out of control.

Hehe, same thing they said when 40 round hoppers came out, then when auto fire pumps came out, then when constant air came out, then again when semi-autos came out, then again when electro guns came out, then again with force feed hoppers. It's been said for the last 15 years.

and everytime its been true

What i dont understand is, how do they shoot so much paint but not run out of air, even if the tank is full when they start... ( i know the amount of paint also determines on how many players are on the team and thier tank size) but still

I was going to play with OTB Factory in div 3 xball in chitown and they were going to get 50 cases. I wish we shot less, so I could AFFORD it dammit!

I remember a tournament at THE MILL in Bloomington In. (long since closed) long time ago that when you walked on the speedball field they handed you a zip lock bag with 100 paintballs and that was it They gave you balls to chrono too.

Well, I haven't been playing that long, but I can still definitely agree.

Starting out with my 98c I used a 45 rd hopper just because I was so poor (still kinda am). Then I moved down to a VSC pump. I'm kinda going in the backwards direction than what most people are doing today.

Except for the fact that the ULE Automags are FAR too cool to pass up at the great price. So I'll end up with one of those.

Either way, I couldn't see myself shooting over 500 in a game. I've never even shot over that in a day!

Solution is simple-paint limiting in tournaments.

Paintball is getting unbalanced.
