The short answer.
Most players use around 100 paintballs an hour, though it varies a lot. That means the included paintballs cover most people, and extras are there if you need them.
About 100 an hour. For 2 hours, the 300 included is plenty for most players. For 4 hours, the 500 package covers most.
Extra paintballs are £8 per 100.
