Rounds Fired - The Debate

[Riddick]

Okay here is a new topic (obviously)

How many rounds do you typically use at the following:

A.) Skirm

B.) Event

C.) Midcap Only events

D.) Midcap/Highcap Combo Events

I realize there are alot of variables to this. Just answer in average terms.

[Low recoil]

Skirm- 1500 or less
Event- 2500 or less
Midcap Only 2500 or less
Midcap/ Highcap combo 2500 or less

[Mcluvin]

2,000 give or take a couple hundred, whether skirm or event.
Midcaps- 2,000
Don't use hi-caps.

[Osprey]

I feel these questions Rick are asking are part of something.

Skrim 1000
Event 1000-2000
Midcap only ????? Never used them yet
High caps 1000-2000

[Tombstone]

Some games I fire 1 midcap of 100 rounds.
Some games I end up crawling around on my belly with a knife because I'm out of bb's 2 hours in. (Roughly 1100 rnds later)
It all depends on how much fun I'm having.

CQB: Roughly 150 rounds / minute with realcaps, closer to 300 per minute with hicaps

Outdoors: 7500 rounds per skirm / event (3 SAW drums)

[JamesW]

More times then not 3k rounds for all

No sh*t. It's a survey for business. And Rick, I like how you go directly to the players for their input. You don't see many guys in your position taking the initiative all by themselves.

I fire anywhere from 5rds to 5000 rounds depeding on the game and the weapon I'm using.

Oh! Me to Rick keep up the good work

Usually 500 to 2K. Skirmish vs OP doesn't matter too much, rather how objective based the game is. More objective based equals less rounds fired.

[LiquidSnak]

Usually less than 2,500. I think 500 round packs of ammo would be a good number.

[Pork]

Skirm: N/A

Event: N/A

Midcap Only: N/A

Midcap/Highcap Combo: N/A

[McNair]

Lately, 1K to 2K be it a skirmish or event. More if I'm shooting a support weapon. I put out 3K rounds with the 240 at a scappoose skirm in 20-30mins.

[Jason Bourne]

I use hi-caps only.

I used to burn 6k now I burn around 2-3k per event.

What you guys would call a skirmish (around 30 guys) are what we call events over here...we play for a solid 6hrs everytime, so I burn about the same amount.

All that to say, I am upgrading my gun and it will take fewer rds to hit someone in the future.
