How much paint do you plan to shoot at LL?

**FallNAngel** · 01-21-2012, 02:19 PM

After reading a few threads here, the topic has come up of paint consumption. In talking with people, both here and IRL, I've heard of people going with a bag and a pump gun to 6-10+ cases (yes, for just the one person). I suppose if you're going to be out there all day both days and looking for the firefights, it wouldn't be hard to go through a lot of paint. So, how much do you plan on going through?

Me? I'm going to guess ~2 cases total, though I'm not the type to spray and pray. This may go up depending on weather conditions and the final battle.

Looking forward to them actually being available for this.

I preordered 3 cases, and my set up allows me to carry 10 Pods. I also have a 90 cubic inch 4500 Tank though, so I am going to be my teams Heavy Gunner. If I need more, I'll buy more lol.

I shot 3 cases at LL4 last year. Plan to shoot at least that much this year.

**John** · 01-23-2012, 05:49 PM

I planned for two cases last year but I only shot one. I think I was using a mechanical autococker and played a lot in the really dense stuff so I didn't use lots of paint.

However, the year before I shot closer to three cases. I can see someone going through 4 easily. However, you certainly don't have to.

I'm getting 2 cases, order early and you get a free bag of paint. This will be my 3rd Legends and each time I shoot about 2. But I'll also be playing alot of pump this time around.

i see the biggest issue as what to do with all the pods....... i carry 12 and man its tough to keep track of.

But i would say im good for 4 cases for the weekend depending on temp ifs its that hot its hard to keep going at full speed.

If I did not have to work... 2-3 cases.

paintball741O · 01-24-2012, 05:53 PM

I used 3 cases last year. I'm probably pre ordering 4 cases this year.

Oh yeah, if I wanted to shoot and "hope" to hit something? Oh, 4 cases no problem. I tend to not be the type to shoot 13+ bps to hold someone into a bunker; it's usually not necessary, especially in open / scenario games.

SouthernStyle · 01-25-2012, 10:14 AM

2 cases should do you fine. Depending on how conservitive you are on the trigger. I've seen people make a case last 2 days. I'm not out to kill someone so. I planned on 2.

^ This man will show you how it is done. He might have to take out a loan or mortgage his house, but he'll show you how much paint you can shoot.

DeadeyeDante · 01-25-2012, 11:52 AM

Following the good old American War Theory of 10,000 dollars for one confirmed kill rule? lol

I just stunt hard, so you don't have to.

actually while I am busy terminator walking, John just runs by with a pump and keeps yelling at me to keep up....

bronze · 01-25-2012, 08:50 PM

That's just upper management though. You do more now; I do plenty of paperwork.

papaintballer15 · 01-26-2012, 07:25 PM

preordering 6-8 cases. Worst case scenario.. i dont shoot it all. I have a amazing paint to take home!

Doubt ill bring out the heavy vest though, used it once and said Id never do it again. 32 pods and two 68/45's along with 4 grenades and a large utility pouch. my back and shoulders cant take 80 lbs for 10 hrs again.

so think ill run a 4+3 or 5+4 and maybe my Vtac echo vest for sunday and when running pump. I usually shoot 2-3 cases at most events I play but something like this I wanna shoot MOARRRRR!!!
