How many paintballs do you really need?

Most players use around 100 paintballs an hour, though it varies a lot. That makes the packages a good fit:

  • 2 hours, 300 paintballsAbout 200 is typical, so 300 leaves room for a trigger-happy game.
  • 4 hours, 500 paintballsAbout 400 is typical, so 500 covers most players.
  • 4 hours, 1,000 paintballsFor players who know they’ll shoot a lot.

Money tip: if you think you’ll use around 1,000, the £60 package works out cheaper than the £35 package plus five extra bags of 100 (£75).
