Ballist1x Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 L Played outdoor game in just my second airsoft experience last night. The guy said we'll play 2 games make sure you have enough ammo take 500-1000 bbs... I used 950 bbs in the first 30 minutes and had to take a 20 minute walk back to my car to pick up more befire the second round. In all I burned through about 6000 bbs in about 5 hours of which obly a small proportion of time we were in 'contacts'... In other news, where can I buy cheap 0.25 tracer bbs?

ibo7 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I only used about 2000 in each of my last 2 woodland skirmishes using a regular AEG, I only really tend to shoot when necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStew Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 i've gone through 6000 in a day when i was a support gunner but usually about 1500 in a game day. you can get blaster 0.25 tracers for about £14.00 for 3000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I felt like support lol. It was windy so they were going all over. I was using the 0.25 blasters from ebay:) for 13.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStew Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 thats pretty much the cheapest you will get them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wo1f Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Maybe 500 for a full day. 35 round mags and I usually carry 5 plus a 90rd speedloader, plus whatever is in my pistol. Difference is I don’t really suppress unless im pinned and need to retreat. I don’t use auto either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted June 17, 2018 Supporters Share Posted June 17, 2018 Also under 2000 a day, often well under. Crikey, that's some cost if you're using tracers. If you're able to spam that many BBs, I'd infer that you're not getting hit much. Are you actually in range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted June 17, 2018 Supporters Share Posted June 17, 2018 Use semi more, that'll help and learn what your gun can and can't hit too. Switching away from high caps will probably reduce using so many too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point I was using non tracers as it was still light and I moved onto tracers a couple of hours later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 well under 500 , i normally only shoot when i can get the kill , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tackle Posted June 17, 2018 Moderators Share Posted June 17, 2018 Usually between 300-600, only use semi & generally one shot at a time, if my target hasn't seen me I can't see the point of rapid fire semi, too much noise to give me away (I'm a sneaky motherfucker ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick G Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I find I am often surprised at how many mags I've still got left after a game. I am using more single shot and 'burst' rather than hosing most of the time. Mind in a recent game another guy and I spent about 20 minutes trying to uproot a sniper who was well hidden in a hedge, when I finally spotted him it was extremely satisfying to just let rip ! 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted June 17, 2018 Supporters Share Posted June 17, 2018 normally around 2000, unless folk are cheating, in which case around 10000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayjay Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 When im running my G5 I generally do between 1000-2000 a day. If im running either of my AEG's it tends to be nearer 2000 just because of greater capacity mags I know I can be less stingy when it comes to spreading my 6mm love (at least that's what my wife calls it... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg147 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Usually 400-500 in a 50 minute game. Although I took the M60 out last month and managed to eat through a full 2500 round box in that same time... 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshOnSnow Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I got through about 400 today. I play slow and tactical, and had my sniper out for a couple games too. In general though, ive found a bottle of 3000 will last me 3-4 game days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in the same boat, I usually take out 2 hi caps and a mid, and that’ll last me all day. 3 pistol mags to back that up. Or I go full ham and can use a bottle in a day, depending on how/where we play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dentonboy Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Pre GBBR - probably 1800+ per game day Post GBBR - 500 or less per game day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacarathe Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I've had many many days at the mall which I used not more than 600 (pre-load all my mags on the train a few hours before, rarely get through them all), outdoors maybe occasionally double that. I don't tend to use hi-caps though. And I only use my scorp one because the midcap doesn't feed 0.3g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Lozart Posted June 18, 2018 Supporters Share Posted June 18, 2018 I think the only time I've used 6000 BBs in a day was when I first used my M249! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skara Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 On normal Sundays I go through 1500 to 2000 bbs.. In tournaments I go through 4000 to 6000.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clumpyedge Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Currently a single game will range from 120rnds to 600rnds depending on the game. Typically on a skimrish I would say I'd do no more than 2000 bb's and thats sometimes pushing it. On a weekend milsim I've sometimes gone home having not even fired a shot (some of which have been the best games I've ever played! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
