rounds per fight?

[fate tempter]

just wondering how much you guys lay on the trigger. i blast about maybe 150-300 shots a fight.

[blake_sw]

I usually use "fists" for fights.
Depends if I'm playing a tourney or jus rec ball. Most of the time..less than 100 rounds. I don't hammer paint and try sweet spotting or pinning people down..that's the back players job. Couple rounds for each snap shoot and the occasional spray on the running guy, that's bout it. Last week, 600 rounds lasted me the whole day.
In tourneys I'll usually use 50-300 rounds a game though. I hate it though, really empties the wallet.

[Hatebreed]

Since i dont have a harness i can only use 200 a game. But usually i go around 100 for Speedball and 50 for woodlands. But of course there re those games where you just go crazy and run out of paint in two minutes.

[davidb]

I'd like to be able to use less paint, but it seems I'm always the guy stuck going one on 3-4, and I have to be able to let loose to keep so many people from advancing. I often go through 300 rounds a game. But I plan on starting to play hopperball. Hopefully now I'll learn to bring a buddy with me who won't get hit...

[Richy_C]

In hyperball i find my self hard pressed to reload, but woods is a rip, like 300

[DasBaldDog]

I object to the use of the word "fight" I would replace it with "game". Speedball, I'd say 100-150 and woods (10 min game) 400 max.

[Thor the Mighty]

sometimes i go the whole game without shooting over 30 balls! i have alot of control over how much i shoot, and i let other people do cover fire for me, and i tell htem to take the hard sides, so i can flank the person that the guy is shooing at.

[FOXRCNG11]

I play the front right tape in speedball so, I ususally go through quite a few rounds 600-700

[jfoust]

i play against wusses and they will only play 2-5 shot limint in rec balls game with like 8 people so i only use 100-200 rounds usally to get them all out

[fate tempter]

wtf you got against the word fight? thats what it is! your fighting people--

__hatebreed__ just wondering how you use less paint in woods fight? whats your strategy?

[FredRandle]

I don't play with that many people, and I play woods ball, not speedball.

Today for example I only used 15-50 balls per round depending on if I got into a firing war.

That brings me to my next point...

I had just grabbed the enemy flag, and turned to sprint back to my base when I hear my friend on the other team yell and chase after me. Paint flying everywhere, I jump over this little creak, and fall down. I rolled over on my back and started shooting at him, but I ended up getting hit a few times in the fast mask. Oh well, my team still one that round.

hehe, that was just pretty intense, and I forgot to talk about it in my other thread.

[jrr112]

i usually use about a hopper mot much more than that. all dependes weathere or not it speed ball or woods. usually more in woods.

[PBSouLjAh]

prolly a hopper, but if i have to, 300.

[TeC]

the most i have used in a speedball game is around 700 but i use an average of 500 for a game of speedball and about 300 for woods. before i got a mag and cocker i wasnt "trigger happy" and i would only use 400 rounds all day.

[Xander]

I use under about 30-50 depending if I am in a fire fight(I play on with my friends in temas of 3 or 4)

[Silent Knight]

I have never really played speedball before, I usually play in the woods. Sometimes during a game i won't see anyone, then there are time where i'll be right in the middle of a fire fight. on the average I would go through 200 rounds a game, maybe a little less. Accuracy by Volume? hell no, volume is expensive!!!!!

[FSU Paintball]

Depends on whether I'm playing speedball or in the woods. In speedball, I used to rip through 200-300 rounds because I was trying to push, but I've been using more like 80 to 150 recently, because I'm near broke. I usually use between 50-300 paintballs in the woods; it varies greatly from game to game out there, depending on how many people I run into.

[tsr]

I do what Hatebreed does, use under 50 rounds per game in wood forest game and about a 100 per speedball game. People think I don't help out much but I'm playing for myself not for a bunch of spray painting hoo haas.

[Nemessis]

Usually 150-300 a game

[UTLadiesMan]

If it's like a 10 on 10 rec game, I will use maybe 12 shots at most. (a couple won't break...) ;)

No, really 200-300. Sometimes more, sometimes not. One time in a woods game, I spent like 6-7 minutes getting behing the enemy w/o them noticing, then right as I pull the trigger, some guy yells "he's over there!" and a barrage of balls comes my way. Turns out, the sunlight reflected off of my chrome lens. (damn vanity...) Anyway, I shot 1 ball that game, and got 1 kill. Pretty happy, never done it before.

[tsr]

i think what utladies man said is reasonable for anyone planning to buy yellow/reflective lens for their goggles. forget about it in woods games. When people see shiny, they go after it like a hound. It kinda sucks to have some markers like mines with shiny nickel or for others chrome... it looks real nice but when people see that they know someone is there.

Darn straight. I was kind of pissed at myself. If he hadn't saw me, it would have been the easiest 5 kill streak of my life. They were lined up with their backs to me, and I had some cover, and they couldn't hide or anything becuase my teammates were in front. 5 kill game (and win the thing really easily too) just down the drain.

It's ok though, I still like my chrome lens. Besides I spend most of my time on the speedball course.

[bbqchicken8]

never more than 200 in a game

[fate tempter]

ok i guess im average. for a minute i thought i wasnt shooting enough, thatnks for the replies

[PiranhaPro]

A hopper full and a redz 4v belt lasts me 2 games, so about 400 a game

[felixthecat]

well I don't have a harness either so I am forced to use only 200....but in speedball I only use about 100 though...but I am thinking of getting a harness real soon......but its either that or a drop forward........I wonder what I should get first????hmmmm..well I might think on getting something like the PMI perfect Drop Forward or a TKO cause there pretty much the same only cheaper and they have three options: black,chrome,or titanium......If I was to get that most likely I would get chrome to match my gun....I find my self taking all the color out of my gun and replacing it with crome...well right now the whole top portion of my gun is chrome and the bottom is red but when I get my stabilizer, only the trigger frame will be red.....oh well doesn't really matter.....

[krasher]

If I'm playing back I can use 800 rounds in a 10 minute game. Playing mid (what I usually play) I use about 500.

In practice I tend to stay off the trigger a bit, because I don't feel like lighting up my teammates and whatnot, so about 300 per game.

[toadman7b22]

a hopper plus a 140 round tube

[VeNoM]

this was suppposed to be how much paint you use on one guy, not the whole game or day, right? well i find it hard to justify using over 150 rds. trying to eliminate ONE guy. i am rather fast on the trigger though so i shoot quite a bit, but i would say i use about 50-100 rds but thats in a real heavy fire fight which usually doesnt happen every game. and i carry a 4v extreme rage pack, just in case ; )
