    I carry about 150 for stock class, and a full revvy for open class. Sometimes I think about carrying more,but if I'm gonna do that, I'll play with my autococker. Even then, it's hopper and 2 pods max. I don't like pounding paint in rec-ball.

      Open pump i used to run a Sportshot hopper and two 50 round pods in the front pocket of the Flurry vest. I now have a PBMafia 5/50 pack and can run three 50 rounders.

          For open class, a Jolo or Winny + 2 pods usually for most rec, for larger rec games maybe 3 pods. Usually go out with 15 tubes in the joyride for stock class and won't refill them all between games, run around 6 or 8 tubes minimum.

            I carry around 100 paintballs in most all situations.

            OC pump/mech: usually 25-50 rd hopper and a 50 rd pod or 6 tubes.

            SC: 10 tubes

            Magfed: 80 rounds (4x20)

            On the rare occasion I use a full size hopper I’ll normal just do hopper ball

              Playing during a normal rec day I usually just fill my 50rd hopper for one game, though 80-100 rounds is definitely better (I have run out of paint once or twice)

              I usually just leave a pod on the side of the field to fill my hopper between games

                A single game here for just walkon means 2 rounds of 10-15 minute games. With open class pump, typically with a 100 round loader I'll have one more 100 round pod, sometimes two and then don't have to worry about filling up hoppers/pods between games as often. I've even just run with a hopper and no pods.

                  Pretty much only play stock class. Even when I’m not I carry the same amount of paint. 6 10rd tubes plus whatever is in the feed. Always gets me through 2-3 games.

                    I fill my winne and carry 2 50rd pods. I've never used that much paint unless it's supergame but I'd always rather have more than be the last guy alive and run out of paint

                      I see we're all pretty much in the same ballpark

                        I seem to only really have 2 choices at this point.

                        Stock Class: ~150. Full Joyride Pack and whatever is on the gun.
                        Open Class: ~200. 3 Pods in a 5/50 Pack and whatever is in the Winchester or Jolo I'm using.

                        I hardly, if ever, get close to shooting all of that in a game. I typically only shoot 40ish while playing stock class, and then maybe 100 or 150 while playing open.

                          I only play Open Class, or Hybrid.

                          For normal open play, I use a Jolo, paired with a Valken 5 pod 50cal harness, which each pod holds 40 68cal, so 250 total.

                          For large games, I might use my Jolo, Egg 3, or Empire Prophecy, with my old Mantis 3 pod harness (which is currently out of commission, and needing new elastic straps). I'll swap between 100 and 140rd pods, so anywhere from 350 to 620.

                          For hybrid, I have one of Xemon's spring feeds on my Phantom, which I'm currently running without the spring as a rock 'n cock, and holds around 25 rounds, with 14 tubes on my basic Warrior harness. Around 165 total.

                            Open Class: 100 round hopper on the sniper, or 50-round hopper on the Trracer, and (2) 160-round pods (Lock lids in a Valken 2-pod pack)
                            Stock Class: 6-12 tubes (either 1 or 2 leg rigs)

                              Open Class - Shoe Loader (60ish PB) with Paintball Mafia 5/50 Pack so 300ish paintballs. Rarely have to reload during a walk-on game. I carry the extra paint so I can reload for back-to-back games without having to walk back to staging or during big/scenario games to minimize having to walk off the field.

                                I primarily only play stock class paintball these days with the occasional semi pistol play but as far as how many I carry it's anywhere from 30 rounds to 130 rounds depending on the style of play. One of my primary games is birthday ball and you're not allowed to carry any reload tubes for that so I usually have the one in the gun and one extra tube so we can switch sides plus one extra that can go in midfield for whoever can get to it.
