RE: Paintball

it sure does help though, the rental i used went every which way but at the target. this explains my very small use of paint, get up close and personal, or attack from behind (4 kills that way
)
240 for a case!!! i think it was like 100 or 150 for a case.

Those are pretty good prices. Where I go its 240$ per case of 2000. Thank god I get the 50% discount but still.
I use a tippmann A5 with a few goodies. I went 1 on 1 with a speed ball equipped guy once and he couldnt get a hit in while In was getting head shots mostly, goes to show that a better gun doesnt mean you will play better [&:].

more people would paint ball if it wasn't so god dang expensive! CPX charges you like $40 to get in and $30 for a bag thier paint (cant use your own)and most people i know will waste a case in a day. that is at least $70 a day, not including rentals if you dont have your own gun and mask (like me) or if you want armor (why i dont know)
i went through one hopper in a whole day, so paint isnt the issue for me.

As for the balls, at 120$ a case I can let myself loose with half a case for a whole day. The only time I used allot was at a "big game" where they combined all the fields into one (about one million square feet) and had over 800 players divided into 2 teams in a domination scenario. I went through 3000 balls that day. But in my defense, we played from 10am to 2am with a 4 hour break in the middle.

RE: Paintball
you can have a cheap gun and get it to shoot just like my 1300 dollar one that I had with a good barrel. thats how you get your accuracy. The paint to barrel match is key.
I would go through at least 1 case a day, but it is 40$ per case for the ok stuff. But for tournaments it'd be around 10 cases each for the weekend. But this is speed ball not woods ball.
