Re: how many balls do you shoot per game?

just depend on who draws on the opposing team ,if its noobs.
i'll use maybe a hooper, if its older veterans and its a good game, its on 1200 plus.

Re: how many balls do you shoot per game?

I am the founder of the LPPC (Limited Paint Players Club) and I believe in only using what you really need to do what you need to do. That does not mean you can't lay down some paint if NEEDED but that you don't just shoot up paint just because you have it.

With that said I still tend to be very conservative. On an average day of play I can go onto the field and then walk off it having only used a hopper or less, sometimes I can go two games without having to feed the beast. So I voted 51-100.... but like others pointed out, it is hard to give a good number.

Re: how many balls do you shoot per game?

I said 100-200 because i usually play 4 on 4 to 10 on 10 and for the most part, almost always i come out with a hopper that still hasn't been filled, I rarely touch my pods, but on occasion it will spike to 800 rounds in the same game depending how the tide swings early in the game.
I like to choose my shots (never a long baller) but when cover/support is needed I never hesitate to ramp up Turbo to get the job done. Also if that 10 on 10 games turns to a 2 or 3 on 10(them) Ill shoot like a mother to keep them from moving fast, or to distract them so my 2 mates left can find good hiding spots.

Ive started to keep track of Games played, Players Eliminated, Times Eliminated, and paint used for the day. Ive found that i rarely use more then a bag a day with 6-12 games in.

Re: how many balls do you shoot per game?

considering I have only played 24+ hour games, I go through about 2-3 CASES lol. I average about 600 per insertion though

Re: how many balls do you shoot per game?

It all depends on the game. Overall though, on average, I use 100 balls around.

Re: how many balls do you shoot per game?

Per Game is hard to say, as we play games lasting from 10 mins upto 2.5 hours or more. All I can say is that in a 7 hour shoot I will get through between 1000 and 2000 balls depending on the day and other players (Thats 143 to 286 balls/hour or 2.4 to 4.8 balls/Min average).
I do actually believe in "1 shot 1 Kill" (actually in my case 2 ball volly's), but we appear to have a lot of Wipers at our field! I don't believe in Bonus Balling, but Wipers always get an extra volly of shots mid-wipe just to bring it home!
