how many balls do you shoot per game?

how many balls do you shoot on average in a game, speedball or woods ball, doesnt matter..

I tend to really wait until i HAVE to shoot and when I know I have a shot, i go for about 10 balls a game

Re: how many balls do you shoot per game?

It completely depends on how many people I am playing against.

If it's an Outlaw game with 3-4 players on each team I will use probably use 11-30 or 31-50 depends on how many times I need to flank or suppressive fire someone.

If it's a bigger game with 13+ people per team I could use up to 100 paintballs depending on what position I play; commander, saber, sniper...

Average game though I'm going to say... no more than 30.

Re: how many balls do you shoot per game?

I have to say 200+, because I play games that usually last at least 45 minutes and in a 20 on 20 i'm taking fire from all sides so I use about 400 per game. Usually only play 2-4 games a day.

Re: how many balls do you shoot per game?

Too many variables to really get an accurate poll. Number of people per team, size of field, length of game, what kind of terrain? Those are the big ones.

The smallest games I play have 30-40 per team, and last 20 minutes. Depending on how things go, I'll shoot as little as 300 rounds or as much as 1200.

Re: how many balls do you shoot per game?

I'm not the fastest guy on the team so I usually play the role of heavy gunner..... I generally carry about 1200-1500 rounds on me at a time and I lay down the cover fire to help my teammates get into position for the kills..... 200 shots per game would feel like I barely shot anything...lol

Re: how many balls do you shoot per game?

I have to Agree with Red Dog.Being the heavy gunner on my team I have been known to shoot almost every thing I carry and thats about 1200 rounds.On the other hand I have also only shot about 200 or less.It all depends on the situation.

Re: how many balls do you shoot per game?

Smaller games (outlaw woodsball - 3 x 3) I'll go through 150-250 rounds per game... laying down plenty of cover fire.

Larger games (outlaw woodsball - 10 x 10) I'll go through 500-700 rounds per game... but the games can last more than an hour.

All depends on the situation, I've never been one that plays the sniper role.

Re: how many balls do you shoot per game?

yeah I usually like to play sniper role, unless everyone on my team is out, then I panic and have to go rambo on everyone (I have a response trigger along with acuracy, lol)
