It appears to be down to game type and play style. Some games require very little paint and others require a lot. Its also down to how the paintball site is run. Our Site doesn't charge for anything other than paint (nothing at all. You just have to buy their paint on the day or pay a site fee to use your own paint.) so our games tend to be paint intensive. Other sites charge huge day fees and so the games tend to be less paint orientated (Thats OK by me as a day costs @£20-£30 max (@ 40-60$) which isn't much at all. Other sites charge a large day fee and try to get their little extra out of the paint profits as well.
