Rounds Fired - The Debate

[shogun]

if i run a rifle

A.) Skirm about 1000 rounds
B.) Event 1500-2000
C.) Midcap Only events 1500-2000
D.) Midcap/Highcap Combo Events 1500-2000

If i run my saw

A.) Skirm about 3000
B.) Event 20k +
C.) Midcap Only events 20k +
D.) Midcap/Highcap Combo Events 20k +

5-7 2400 round box mags per large event, i tend to lay down heavy suppressive fire till the wheels fall off, then i go grab the second set of wheels

[Matt]

NO, YOU DID NOT FIRE 2,000 ROUNDS. That's bullshit!!!

There we go, there's the debate.

[Bulldog]

A.) Skirm 2400 rounds saw box mag

B.) Event 2400 rounds saw box mag

C.) Midcap Only events 2400 rounds saw box mag

D.) Midcap/Highcap Combo Events 2400 rounds saw box mag

only one 2400 round box mag because my airtank can only shoot 1 box mag

Someone needs to get a scuba tank.

Or a more efficient Gas gun

Most events I go to, whether they allow hicaps or not, I will use less than 1000 rounds. Some events if I end up in a really heavy firefight for extended periods, I may get closer to 1.5K, and if we're indoors for a long time it's probably more like 2K

[Runestone]

A.) Skirm
Roughly 500-700
B.) Event
Assuming two days, about 1000-1500
C.) Midcap Only events
500
D.) Midcap/Highcap Combo Events
If I'm using highcaps 1000-1200

I don't tend to fire much, short controlled bursts are what I tend to do.

Actually, my CQB numbers may be a little low. I went through the better part of 10k rounds of tracers doing 4 hours of screwing around indoors. Figure about 25 minutes of play time an hour, 100 minutes or so total, about 100 rounds a minute average.

So, my hourly average is about 2.5k, but my per-minute average is closer to 100, counting in time spent in respawn or waiting for games to start.

We spent a lot of time doing semi-auto only, though. Full-auto games, I'll burn 7 hicaps in 5 minutes, mostly as "ballistic cover" while I move.

[VogonFord]

Depends entirely on which gun I use, and mostly based on how much I hate loading their magazines and how many magazines I have, not necessarily types. But an average should be fine. My difference in event types is not that much (just go for the high end if you're talking a long op, short end if it's an early cancelled skirm), and I don't play CQC.

Assault rifles - 2k to 4k. I fire a lot. Also, probably about half of my kills are from the hip or one handed.

DMRs/Snipers - About 100 rounds. I actually aim with these, surprisingly.

SAWs - 4k to 6k. Shoot! With the gun! That's what the bullets are for, you twit!

SMGs - 500 to 1k. This generally has to do with the whole lack-of-magazines business.

Pistols - 50 to 100. Usually gets pulled out when I'm pissed at my team for lack of courage, pointed at teammates as I shout at them to get the hell forward, shot at the enemy one handed (like a true gentleman), and overall I don't take them very seriously.

[Mufasa]

Only use midcaps.
Skirms-10-750
Event-500-1.5k
Really depends on the objectives and how well I know the field.

[Cyph34r]

It really depends on what gun i'm using.
If i'm running a bolt, less than 100 at pretty much any game.
With an assault rifle, somewhere around 1-2k for a big game, a little less for a skirm.
SAW: Many. Many rounds. at least 1 4k bag. probably 3 or 4.

Vogonford: You're gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola company.

[ogrejager]

If I get conned into some kind of leadership role, significantly fewer rounds.

Yes.

Me? Generally about 2k, doesn't seem to matter the game type or restrictions. Some games, though, I'll be higher, but that's usually driven by the field, not the game type.

[league 4]

A.) Skirm - 1000

B.) Event - 5000

C.) Midcap Only events - 5000

D.) Midcap/Highcap Combo Events - 5000

[Jewish Ninja]

About 1k for skirm and OPs, unless I'm running a saw, in which case it's about 10k.

[Cosmos]

I use 75 round midcaps only
I use a range of 6-16 per game whether it is a skirm op/event
that puts my round count range roughly at 500-1500.
if this is to determine a good round count for packaging I agree that 500 rounds is good. I have had a bunch of bags that have bbs left that end up spilling, getting dirty or somehow getting wasted.

Speaking of which, I need a bag of ammo...

[Matt]

I'd say 1K is a fairly good estimate for me as a rifleman. 5-10k for SAW.
