You know, in my opinion, it all depends on the player and thier mood.
Doing walk on games, and even sceanrio, I do alot of suppressing and cover fire. Since my back got worse, I tend to only carry two 140 round pods on me into the field. I can carry as many as eight pods, but dont do that much any more. You use burst fire, not constant to keep them pinned.
If you are smart with your firing, and placement, that is enough for a support role. Rate of fire intimidates, but popping four or five rounds close to the bad guy who is getting froggy tends to keep his head down. Never fails to make someone dunk when they hear those balls swoosh by a foot over their head. I normally dont unload until my guys are flanking or making a critical move. But of course that is an old technique that everone knows. The danger is that they know a move has to be being made by the oposition.
The two times to get worried, is when you dont hear any shooting, and when you hear way too much shooting. Someone is making a move.
Now dont get me wrong. If I am feeling good, I will take out four to six 140 round pods and burn them up in a fifteen minute game woodsball game. I did get in this game to shoot lots and lots of paint.
