Re: how many balls do you shoot per game?

All I play are 26 hour scenario games anymore, in which I will shoot 1.5-2 cases of paint over the weekend.

I'll go hours without firing a single shot, then at other times it gets pretty hairy

I would love to do a long scenario game, but I haven't had a chance yet.
If I only did 24 - 26 hr games, I would only play three or four times a year (thats how poor it is in the UK at the moment)! As it is I get to play one 7 hr day a month and that consists of 2 main games and a couple of smaller ones (lots of paint in a short period of time!).

Re: how many balls do you shoot per game?

Depending on the style of game I can shoot 12 rounds and that will be it. Or I can shoot upwards of close to 700 or more. It really just depends on a lot of different aspects and varients in the game IMO

Re: how many balls do you shoot per game?

Hm. I never kept track of how many per game, really.

After a whole day I usually burn through maybe 1.5-2 bags, so 1000 rounds. But that includes spills, testing my gun before and after games, making rainbow trees, and the occassional game of target shooting HORSE with my fellow teammates.

Per game? Maybe 30 rounds average.

It cost less per minute to play a 26 hour game you know

Its kinda like buying in bulk at the grocery store.

Re: how many balls do you shoot per game?

Most games I shot under 200, but when I play a heavy, it jacks the average WAY up.

played this weekend, and used a 50 round tac cap for the first 2 games, only reloaded twice. the other 3 games I used a X7 hopper and used over 200 per round.

But like the other posts, it does really depend on the size of the teams and the duration of the games.

Re: how many balls do you shoot per game?

Well, I almost completely dependent on what I'm carrying, since I have three different guns

With my A5, I usually carry a hopper and four pods, on average I'll go through maybe the hopper and a pod or two in a game

With my mini i usually fire through the hopper and six pods, I swear the gun makes you trigger crazy!

However after playing for awhile with my mini, then being too broke to play for long periods of time, I starting going main with my trusty Tiberius 8

so with my tib I usually carry 4 mags with one reload for each, so 64 rounds so far I have never run out [except one time in a hyperball game] so I'd say I'm shooting anywhere between 4-20 with my tib, although in longer 2-3 hr+ games I carry a pod and some 12g so i don't have to walk off the field

so if we're looking at true averages:

200
1160
+ 18
------
1370

1370/3 = 459.3333333

So i guess that would be my average... Although I have been trying to solely use my pistol

Re: how many balls do you shoot per game?

Young and fast means that i only shoot 50-100 shots a game but i've shot as much as 400.

In a 24 hr game i usually shoot 1-1.5 cases
