        No, you carry spare hoppers instead of pods.

                At one time not 'that' long ago it seems....

                You could play w/ a hopper at a time, very often not even re-filling between games. Maybe a only couple times a day.

                Cases were 2500 rounds and a single case lasted for like a month and half.

                'Course it was also like $100-$150 a case back then too but still.

                        Yes then came the dawn of the RT era. I remember it well. There was savage and brutal rates of fire to be had with the RT. Adults, kids and even refs ran in fear of what was about to be unleached. Having case or two of proball and an RT ment you could part small trees without ball breaks. No where to run, no place to hide and no palyer was safe from the awesome firepower of the RT. Yes, it was a blood bath back in them days! Watching people fall like flys like the God of War himself. It was so fun haha. The days of hopperball were over and muti pods became the norm. Field owners were laughing uncontrolably in their pots of gold with the money procured from paint sales. It has all led to this.
