Just what's in the hopper, usually less. Paintballs are too expensive and since I don't have a jov, less is better. I just make each one count that much more.

it depends sometimes i get out right away because i am usaully up in the front. sometimes in woods i get almost everyone out. so i use about 300 rounds. sometimes that one person spots me and i get hammered. I play against some newbie boy they suck *****. I would say on an average about a hopper

I feel like a cheap b@stard, i use probably an average of 75 shots a game (in woods) and a max of 150. Ive only run out of a 200 round hopper twice! I try to limit myself to less than 400 shots a day, though ive used 700 before. I dont try to conserve too much, i just dont waste paint in situations when someone is in excellent cover 40 yards away, unless im trying to supress him. Ive found that the most paint is wasted (besides random shooting of course) in long range firefights, which can last 15 minutes or more. When i see an opportunity, im not afraid to use a ten shot burst, like when i see someone run across the open or when i charge someone.

the sad part i do is. I pick up paint off the ground when someone spills some paint i pick it up if they are not going to. some time people have their hoppers break open i pick that up to

mb 400 a game in woods, 600 in speed ball...
but we tend to play our own rules... so its like u have 3 lifes and can get hit 3 times...
games last longer... but paint is used faster...

well ..... me i use about 30 shots max before but when my coach ( a pro tournament player ) start training me and my team . we start to use like a hooper and 1 or 2 pod in each game
for a 4 hours of play , i usually buy 1000 rounds to fill my 4 pods and my hopper , then i'm good for the day

I use a full case of Atomic Marbelizer on Saturday and a full case on Sunday. Once the case is gone its time to go home. I have a 1 case a day limit.:D

It depends on the number of players, their experience, fields, and position on the field. Sometimes I’ll only go through a whole case in a day, other times 250 for the whole day. I don’t waste paint if I don’t have to, if the opposing players are blowing through paint I do. The reason being, if there blasting my butt to keep me covered I’ll have to do the same to them..

If I’m playing in the woods, I don’t go through as much speedball, ugh speedball eats up paint like nothing. Most of the time my cocker’s going to the max in the speedball areas. If I’m playing rookies(not to put them down) I don’t use much, since most of the time rookies don’t cover there flanks so the games are short and filled with one shot kills.

I remember once I played at Jack Frost(near skirmish) I went through about 3500 ball during a 15 hour period. The reason being, the woods were filled with experienced players, if I remember right the number of players playing that day were some where in the high two hundreds.

I don't own a harness yet (so frickin expensive) so I normally only shoot what's in my hopper. I gotta get a harness fast though...I'm constantly holding myself back because I don't want to run out. Shots you would normally take that aren't clear, but have a chance that I don't want to take because I might not have enough paint at the end of the game when I have a clear shot.
