Yes, I know it is summer time and nobody wants to do math. But, there is one last formula you need to learn before your next big paintball game: L=200+P(140)
This formula is for the basic measurements, 200 rd hopper and 140 rd pods. This formula is how you determine the amount of paint you are capable of carrying. L stands for total paint load and P stands for number of pods. If you plan to play paintball frequently, be sure you can count by 140. Just something I realized when looking at my planned load out...

i normally go out with 760. 760=200+4(140). i can carry 6 pods in the vest, but have found no reason to use the plus 2. then again ive never played in a big scenario game.
i also find as the day goes on im less likely to carry a full load

Hmm..... so L=200+6(140)= 1040....Hmm I can carry 1040. I also have three +1's so those are either water bottles or three more pods....water bottles until I get my water bladder thing....but after that I'll be carrying....1040+3(140)=1460....that's almost 3/4 of a case Very Happy. Then also when I get my pistol working....clip holds 10 comfortably....with three 10 round tubes.....1500 paintballs!!! Dang, I'm gonna be set!!!

SO who can beat my 1500 paintballs?? Helpful paintball math... Rofl ...........*Don't ask where I got that emoticon lol*

Hmmm, I still need to order some things, but my equation will be: L=200+13(140) Do the math.

Does that mean your going to be lugging 13 pods around with you during a game? Helpful paintball math... 3696926579 scratch
Surely you don't need that many & I'm surprised youd be able to run with all that.

That will be my big game load out. I usually just run with 4. I plan on going to ION at Skirmish next year. That is when I (might) carry 13 pods, as there are thousands of targets.

Dunk, at ION if you wanna take out a sliver of the team, you need to shoot a lot, people (as in ONE person) can go through 15 cases....it's a planned thing haha. 24 hour long event with thousands of people from all over dunk...I wish I could go....but it's in 10 days and I forgot about it haha.
