Just wondering, but on an average day, about how many paintballs would you go through in an hour of play of woodsball? thanks!

In an hour...that's about 4 games, I use maybe half a hopper a game in woodsball, so about 2 hoppers or 400 rounds. Depends how skimpy you are with paint.

It really depends on how fast the player is pulling the trigger and in what situation the player will be experiencing in a game of woodsball.

An hour of woodsball? Depending on the size of the field and number of players, let's say 10, I might go through the brass eagle 45 round hopper I use. If I'm shooting well, maybe half that.

Are you the crazy full-auto-er or the elite ball-conserver? 

It all depends on how you think you play.  If you think that 30 balls in two seconds will be as effective as 3 well-placed rounds, there is a big difference.

A full-autoer will go through 1000 balls an hour easily..

A sniper/semi-autoer will do about 300 an hour...

I did about 700 an hour, because I'm a mixture of both...

Well, I cant account on an average but lets put it this way. My first true woodsball game was a 2 1/2 hour game of 15v15. I was using a Paradox EVE and I had a 200 round hopper with 6 100 round pods. I used those in maybe an hour, then I borrowed paint from other people on my team (newb!!!!!!!!) Now the last time I played a woodsball game it was 20v20 and i used less than a whole hopper. It all depends on your accuracy, fire rate, and play style. I wouldnt suggest using speedball tactics in a woodsball course, youll die.

In an hour? Not much probably less than a 1/4 box. I normally do a case for a full day of play.

I'd shoot like 300-500 in an hour of woodsball.  If we're talking speedball, it would be like 1000-1500...

Depending if I'm playing with my Squall or cocker. The Squall 500 for a full day of play maybe more if things get a bit agressive. With the Cocker maybe 3/4 of a case for a day, sometimes a little more and sometimes a little less.

i go through about 250 every 5 hours playing woodsball.and this is with an e-grip so it really depends on your playing style, if i wanted to i could go through a 1000 but i choose to use less.

In an hour on the field, or counting time between games? Because in woodsball theres alot of downtime. It also depends if its an arranged game at a designated field, or in local woods.

But last time I played woods in someones backyard (like 15 acres), I only used about 200 in an hour, but in a 2 acre game at Paintball Country, I use about 400-500
