Uhm, I have like 12 through my current gun, and I've had it for around 6 months. I've played for about 4 years total...so, guesstimate how much I've shot.

I was wondering how many paintballs do you guys usually use when you go out paintballing in a day? Not speedball, but just playing in the woods, and not being super trigger happy or anything.
700 every time i play (iplay about forty times a year

how many hours do you play in a day (when you use 700 balls)?

I go through anywhere from a case to two cases every time I play. A case usually lasts me about 3-5games (or longer if I get shot early).

i am not that trigger happy i might use 100-150 balls a game sometimes even less.
i usually got a good shot at them then when i get them pinned down i run for a angle and nail them.

i shoot around 1000+ rounds everytime i go, and i've gone about 10 times so thats around 10,000+ rounds. I know people who go everyweekend and buy 2 cases for themselves...

Trigger happy is the way to be. If i see a guy running, i shoot at him w/ at least 10 balls, I wanna make sure he's dead, and then I also get the pleasure of seeing him get hit multiple times if i get lucky.

Hmmm it's been a lot.
Let's say I played about once or twice a month. I used about 500 rounds for pump games, 1000 for semi games.
Played with pump for about 1 and a half years - about 15,000
semi for about 2 and a half years - about 30,000
I guess I'd say I've shot 45,000 at the least, about 70,000 at the most. That means I've probably played paintball about 90 to 100 times.
Holy crap. Exactly HOW much money did I blow on this sport?
$165 for my first setup
$390 for my next setup
$475 more for my final setup
$200 for various costs (gloves, squeegies, etc.)
Let's say $70 a case average, lets say 30 cases of paint. That makes $2100 for paint... AAAHHH
Add it all up, that's $3,330. Oh my god, why the hell am I still driving a 1983 Crown Victoria? Dammit! Which is better.... a new car, or paintball?
Good god. I didn't even know that I owned $3,330 over my lifetime!
Final stats:
4 years of paintball
$3,330 spent on 4 paintball guns, tanks and masks
about 60,000 shots fired, that's 30 cases.
about 100 days played
about 500 games total
averages to $33 a day
about $7 a game including equipment, not bad!

Yeah, these numbers are a bit low. I shoot through a case a month (I go about every other week). Anyone who's played more than three times should be able to check the last radial.

apprently I shoot too much
probably over 100 cases in my first 5 years of active playing. In the last 4 year hiatus, I have only shot 2 cases. So I'd figure about 250,000+ paintballs.
