How much paint do you shoot on one average day of speedball? either practice or open play?
skateordie
02-11-2004, 06:08 PM
Probably close to 3000 balls but it depends on who your playing if its noobs then I probably wont use as much but in a tournament i might use more

On 1 day senario games... i've used 4000 before. For your normal average rec play i usually use anywhere from 1500-2000.

Lets see.....
Stock Class Gun: 50-300, Speedball or Woods. I once shot 400 during an 8 hour scenario.
Hopper Pump: 500 is usual for rec play. Less than 300 in tourneys or speedball. (Fewer branches :D)
Semi: Don't really know. I used to shoot maybe 500 for a few hours of speedball. I probably shot half a case at the last scenario I did with my cocker.

How do you afford your paint????? Im conserve it because it cost me about 100$$ canadian for a box of 2000, thats for like pmi premium and you can't even get paint in town :S, and i shoot on average 300 balls in bushball with my Spyder

Normally around 500 +/- 200 for a NORMAL day of play here in Iceland. I have to conserve my ammo due to the fact that a case will cost me $100 or more and about two weeks to get shipped up here. Real hard with the timmie lol ....although for big events I've used over a case. Back state side I'd average a case a day of play easily.
HuskerScrub87
02-12-2004, 06:11 AM
In a practice i use about a case and a half (3000)
Tournment a case a game so about 13 cases
rec. ball ummm about 350 a game if that i dont play rec anymore mid-back = u shoot ALOT i usually carry about 3/4 of a case to a case and im 5 4 so lol

My parents only buy me 500 rounds per day and I rerely even use the whole bag.I am dead serious.I try to use the least amount of balls that I can.That is just ME though.
Jeezer
02-15-2004, 01:38 PM
It depends for me, like yesterday I decided to try out playing back, so I burned 2, 140 round pods and a hopper of 200, lets just say I'm never doing that ever again.
Normally when I play front, I go through..maybe a hopper, mostly less than a hopper, when theres more people I wanna keep down though I usually go through half a hopper + a pod.

If you only shoot 20 rounds a game what's the point of the HALO B loader? It feeds up to a game's worth of paint in one second...

Samrog777
02-15-2004, 06:30 PM
Well, depends on how many people I'm playing wiht. So, if I'm playing with a larger group, I get backman syndrome, and shoot a case in 5 games. If I'm playing with less people, I can afford to aim, and use a case a day.

I use a bit more than half a case each day I play. A lot of it depends on how many guys are playing.

Time and patience my friend.....time and patience
You learn to take your shots into consideration, and only shoot when you know you have a 100 percent chance of hitting the opponent. Even with laying down cover fire...it doesn't matter if its 1 paintball or 500 paintballs, one hit and the opponent is out.

Yeah I must have misread his post. I was thinking 40 eliminations, thats quite a bit to do with one bag of paint... 500/40 = 12.5 balls per elimination. Besides, I don't think someone could get that many in a game, even if they shot out all their teammates. :pirate:

in a full 8 hour day of Speedball, Woodsball, and practice targets I average 800-900
In speedball i've never shot more than 20-30 rounds per game, for me its not how many paintballs you shoot, its how you shoot them. If you are behind a bunker i'll shoot 2-3 to get your head down, as soon as you put you head down, i move somewhere else for better position, i usually only have to do that once or twice before i'm 20 feet away from you with a clear ribs shot, and you still think i'm at the starting bunker.
In woodsball i snipe, i'll bunker in and wait as long as it takes for you to be within 30-45 feet where i know i'm going to hit you, and then i only shoot 2-3 rounds. One of my best games yet, myself and a partner took on 5 guys, and i got 2 of em and only shot 10 rounds.

02-17-2004, 09:19 AM
I play mid, and each game I am shooting 5 140 pods and 1 Halo B, which comes out to 865 (give or take a few due to spill or whatever). I usually bring two cases of 2000 each day and I can get about 4 games in with that.

Once I get a better job I'll be using a case of Big Ball a day or if I work a lot, a case of Evil a day. I need to do a lot of stuff before I start buying good paint and putting money into my play like I really should...
-Pay back the (around) $100 I owe to various people
-Get a Crossfire 68\4500 tank and cover
-Get a WGP Hinge frame
So I need about $370-$400 overall, before I can REALLY let loose and PLAY!:(
Right now, I use about 1000 balls or a little less during a day of speedball and that's holding back a little.

too many ppl to quote, so just pretend i quoted all of u in my reply body...
i do play front...generally, i only shoot when i know there's at least somewhat of a chance that he could get out...generally.
i think it has to do with the horrid accuracy that my e99 gives me...once i get my cocker up and running, im praying it will be better.
i may go through a lot, but juvenile...unless ur a pro with a paint sponsorship, that's just a waste imho :P
nerdcore
02-19-2004, 08:22 AM
have to consider, playing woodsball would use less paint because you have to find people before you can shoot some paint at em while in speedball it won't take long to find everybody, hence more paint used in a shorter amount of time.
i try not to use so much paint (goal is less than a case a day) but once i have a good shot, gotta let it fly!

Don't take this the wrong way, but you just said when you have a good shot you let it fly...
If you have a good shot i would assume that you mean you are in a position where you are sure you are going to hit your target, so why would you waste paint and "let it fly" at your target and piss them off cause you "bounus balled" when a 2-3 round burst would have done the job without pelting them cause you "let it fly"?
Think about it, if someone had you dead to rights and you didn't know it, would you perfer that they shoot a 2-3 round burst that hits you and you are out, or that they "let it fly" and you get hit with 7-10 rounds and get you angered?
The one thing about paintball that you can never forget is that for every time you say "blank it" and walk the trigger on a target, you may be that person in the future, or that you might have been that person in the past.
Not everyone you play against may be as good, or as expierienced as you, i'd wager to say that they may be a first timer as you were once yourself, and if the first expierience to paintball is somebody unloading and "letting it fly" on them because they know they have the shot, would they want to play again?
I'd wager not, and if someone had done that to you, i'd guess that you'd have felt the same.
This game is about fun, what fun is it to nail a noob with several shots on his first day and have them think that all paintballers are @-holes???

hey i barely ever bunker down i have a simple theory behind my style of play i stay still when i notice another player i sneek up on them from behind i never go head on or fire more than 5 shots at a player. i am far from a sniper because i get close and personal not crackshots from far away. when i am outnumbered i move toward them making a offense not a defense. this simple theory i have never seen but twice before i think it is a great idea dont move if they are facing you and always go from back never fire unless fired upon or a clear shot is present. i also love making little kids surrender because its so much better than them crying. another thing that helps me from going triggr happy is that my hopper is a pmi 200 but it holds 175 so i can use 300 which is 2 hoppers.

i was doing annoying snapping with some guy...he wouldnt get hit, and neither would i...
ended up using hopper and 3 pods before he got me in the elbow...
using less than 500 in a day is impossible for me.

The max I have ever used is about 1200-1300 in about 7 hrs or so(with my old electro) With my dads mech about 800 i 6-7 hrs

It really depends a lot for me.....
One day I played some walk-on games with my dad and three friends, (mostly 2 on 2 games). I used 500 rounds that day. I went to a tourney in January and used a case. I went to another tourney last weekend and used 1500 rounds. How much I use is based largely on how much I have available. I have gone through games with less than half a hopper, and I have emptied my hopper and gone through 2 tubes before.

yea, it does matter a lot on the situation...
but for me, it always comes around to a full case.

yup, sometimes two.

02-24-2004, 07:31 PM
i always buy 1 case but sometimes it's noth enough so about 2500
Ghost2867
02-24-2004, 07:35 PM
yea...i'd probably use more, but in nearly half the games i play, i get shot out off the break since i always try for the 50, and rarely anything shorter.

I just shoot whatever I bring or buy, usually 1500-2000. I never leave the field with more than 200 when going home.

when playing competetive paintball, i'll shoot 200 per game (our tourneys were limited paint) but an average walk on game, i'll shoot about 200...hey, wait....thats the same...hmm.... i dunno, in a day i shoot about 1k to 2k....depends how long i play

yea, but no1 else on my team can snap at all...sad...
i'd probably be better mid, but i like being all up-close and all :P
until a mod changes it... :evil grin:
besides, caleb's sig was even longer than mine at one point...and they're supposed to set examples, rite?

500 paintballs, I need to conserve because i'm dead broke half the time.
Ghost2867
02-25-2004, 05:06 PM
i am broke...
i pay $30 for house paint(generally factory seconds) which is decent, and $10 for admission, and either $6 for a 20oz refill(store gives a free fill for buying a case), or $10 for all-day air.
no way in hell i can afford going every month...

I get the paint cheap cuz the field sponsors me so i spend $75 a day for a case and a $10 team pool fee... That comes out to $56 American

its so much funner NOT conserving..i conserve when i bring a whole case to shoot..im thinking about actually starting to pay for my paint so i can shoot up to 2 cases a day without having to worry about conserving..

I recently just borrowed a pt extreme pistol for a day using the 10 rdsand the 12 grams. Pistol is great. Found I was only shooting about 500 balls max, its fun playing as a stock player for a change

isnt using a pt extreme a little different from stock i thought they had to be a pump
Ghost2867
02-28-2004, 03:26 PM
ur rite...any type of a semi is NOT stock-class.
stock-class must be one shot per manual pump cycle, must run off of disposable co2 cartridges, and must either have up to (i think) a 10-round vert tube, or a 20-round horizontal tube...something like that, those are the most obvious rules.
back players are tite...too bad they wont let me play back...
our back-man sucks... :(

yea, in tourneys, u generally play like 4 prelim games, then like 3 tops finals games(if u make it), so u can definitely go all-out there, and you'd have to as well...

holy cow!
man I'm poor I have to play with 3-500 rds but all my friends are poor too so I don't need much paint to kill them.
Using less paint allows me to play every other weekend on a tight budget.
