Depends, I don't play Recball, but when I go to practice I might use half a case or so, just depends what kind of drills we do, etc.

That sucks.

My field has bigballs for $40, so I usually buy them.

Depends on how much i start with. If i start with a case, usually like 1800, start with 1500 and below i use all of it. So id say about 1750 if i had a case everytime.

why don't you just buy midnights and just bring them to your field? if anyone asks, just say you bought them from the field;)

well we don't have your speedball field up yet (we play outlaw ball) so about 500

4,000 easily during a intense drill practice, consisting mostly of run and shoot drills with A+.

09-06-2004, 07:22 PM
Usually about a case a day (6-8 hours) but since saturday I got to bust out my rjr I used more like 2500 or so.

Jeezer
09-06-2004, 07:51 PM
A case in 3-4 hours, 2 cases if I bother to wake up early, 3 cases if I get to the field at the opening time. 3 if I go to Op which is 12-9, I'd say......2 cases.

SonyLover

$8 buys 200 rounds, and I usually take about 7-8 tubes (70-80 rounds) home with me.

penguins_r_kewl
09-07-2004, 03:28 AM
Usually I buy how much I can afford and leave when I use them up, which is usually about 2000, but I bought a Talon so now when I'm low on paint I could just play with my Talon the rest of the day :P .

Being that I work at a field and get free paint...
On a 3 hour playing day I can go through about 5000-8000 balls. Gotta love the airball and n00b-scaring woods play.

Jaster
09-07-2004, 08:44 AM
At least a case. Sometimes 2.

ShadowWalker
09-07-2004, 12:54 PM

LordOfThePaint
09-07-2004, 12:58 PM
Recball at the field for fun- 2000 or so

Tournaments- 4,000

Practice- only about 1,000

That is in Canadian dollars, RIGHT?:eek:

I normally use about 1000-1500. Sometimes I'll buy a case if I haven't gone in a while or it's a special occasion (trying out for a team, a birthday party, a big day at the field, etc.) but mostly I buy 2-3 bags of Big Ball.

If I'm balling with Caleb and his friends in Tampa, I'll use a case of Midnight.

JGAC
09-07-2004, 01:06 PM
Case a day, but it really varies from time to time.

On Sunday when I was last out I used 2000 out of 2500 bought, but I shot about 5 or 6 pods fooling around in the chrono or using my friend's Shocker or my other friend's Imp.

So Im gonna say 1000, but I buy a case anyways.

Flakey Lemon
09-07-2004, 02:51 PM
1,000

Last time I used about 600 because i felt like crap and we left early.

Pbkid39

I use half a caseish. back in the day I could go through a case with my spyder in a flash if I wanted to. But I have never lookjed back on the $ I dropped on my cocker.

nahthan
09-07-2004, 04:03 PM
~160-~230 balls per day. (PMI Premium)
I buy em per 500 round bag at $18 a bag. Or Menace if they don't have Premium at $15 a bag. It's sweet because its only $10 entry fee, and my 4 ounce lasts close to 2 full days, on top of that, its also BYOP. :)

slankey
09-07-2004, 04:43 PM
I usually only shoot 150-250 but sometimes if I'm having an off day or something I'll blow a whole bag of 500.

I pay about the same at nahthan for my paint for a bag of 500.

VeNoM
09-07-2004, 05:18 PM
For practice, anywhere from a half case to a case and a half...

Depending on the kind of tournament, I usually go through about the same...

The last time I practiced I went through 4 pods and my hopper in one game, so the next game I went out with just my hopper and got 3/3 eliminations ;) ... It doesn't always take a lot of paint, but it's sure fun shooting a lot of it :) ...

pbdan9190
09-07-2004, 05:21 PM
Yesterday I shot around 1,400, but normally I shoot anywhere from 500-1,000. My field probably has the most expensive, crappiest paint I have ever used. At CPX they charge 25 bucks for a bag of 500 brass eagles, and at 90 a case.:rolleyes:

w00twoot
09-07-2004, 06:28 PM
Last tourny I played we went through 11 cases of paint. When I used to practice at least 2 1/2 cases maybe more depending on the time period.

09-07-2004, 06:56 PM

If I try, a case. If I use my phantom for half the day, 1200 maybe.

If I don't try, 2500ish.

pcgmrsprts
09-28-2004, 06:52 AM
Mine kinda changed from last post, its kinda more like 2300......would be about 2700 if it was all 8 hours but at the field I go to its only 6..including lunch.

ZZYZX
09-28-2004, 07:31 AM
Usually around 100.

If I'm playing semi, about 500-800. I normally have enough to play 2-3 times with a half case.

Sniper15
09-28-2004, 07:53 AM

i dont go through too much considering i play back (too slow for anything else).

i only have a mech cocker after all...

Hmmm Donut
09-29-2004, 08:17 AM
Depends. Usually about 500-1000
Anything over that and i will be trying to waste paint.

GIZMO8Z
09-29-2004, 09:18 AM
On a good day of street ball ... probably a case and a half. When I practice against tourney teams, as much as 3 cases.

Mr Bigglesworth
09-29-2004, 10:15 AM
I buy a case and when it's gone I'm done. So pretty much always 2000 if I stay all day.

puck2paint
09-29-2004, 03:17 PM
1300-2000

usually I cant afford a case, so I take 3/4's of my friend's cases and give them money

meetmrnewb
09-29-2004, 03:20 PM
After Xmas last year I got over 5 cases as gifts so the next week I used about 3500(about a hopper and 1 pod per game)

Normally if I have cash I will use 1000-1500

but if I cant afford it I use 500 :P

puck2paint
09-29-2004, 03:25 PM
well sometimes when I'm really poor, I buy 500 and turn up my spring tension and make it shoot about like a mechanical gun...... with an egg

Believe it or not, in a day I only use about 200-350

buffaugust
09-29-2004, 08:00 PM
depending on how many games i play, how many opponents, and how i feel going into a game, i use from 50-200 per individual game... usually closer to 50. BUT i make those 50 count :) i go through about 500 at a time, unless i got a good deal on paint that day and then i'll shoot whatever i can. i have never gone more than about 700 in a day, maybe 900 if i'm REALLY wasting ammo

Evintos
09-29-2004, 08:27 PM
500 to 700, it's really depending on the situation. But generally I use about 400 rounds for a full day (full day for me = 6-7 hours of playing) and the rest I save for target practice and perfecting my aiming. If I have paint left over from that, then I'll use more the next time I go paintballin..

ViperXT
09-30-2004, 11:29 AM
At tournies about 2-3 cases (I play back and the other guys chip in on my paint).

Practicing with the team or other guys on the same playing level: about a case or so.

Playing with newbs, a bag of 500 (and they thought I was insane for buying that much).
