Do dw on last Sunday of month then buy extra case of paint at 45 quid day costs 105 pound and you can do walk ons at £12.50 using dw paint !! Cheap as chips !!! ;)
Erm... Actually you can't. Diamond wars paint is meant for Diamond Wars as its subsidised for the event. Your £60 DW ticket includes one case, if you need more for the day it's reduced to £45 a case for you to use at that or subsequent wars only.

If you're using DW paint on a rental day, you're using paint that should have cost £120 a case. Meaning that the site will lose the revenue on that case, lowering profits and possibly thinking about further price increases, not just for rental customers but for us own gunners. I realise that we don't want to pay £120 a case, that's why we play big games, tournaments and special events.

Is punter hunting really worth it ? You're going up against a stag-do and two birthday parties, they've probably never played before and they'll probably never play again... Is there really enough of a challenge to improve your game ?

Medic is right if you get caught you will be told to leave . And I know the marshals and GED knows which own gunner has bought paint so if you don't get any .... Questions will be asked .if you ask me the cheapest way it's to pay £5 entery (you don't get food and 100 balls) own gunners only, and become a member ..... That way it's £40 for 1000 balls (still not cheap) but this way you support the site and the site will support you .... As a member and close friend to a lot of the staff at NPF I know they will help me when I need it .members cost is £35 per year

I'm looking at getting the diamond membership for next year does that mean all my paint will be at 45 quid per case?. I always ask if I can use the dw paint when I go through the pay area I'm never sneaky about it and they have always said yes so I just thought it was the norm !!

I'm going to assume that they think if you have a bag left, they'll let it slide. It's been discussed before and I suppose it's still in their interest to be accommodating to their customers, they know we'll be back. We might moan about the price increases, but crikey, DW has only gone up twice in four years iirc... Rental days are what pay the bills though. DW profit margins aren't all that great I'm sure.

I got through 800 in a 20 minute game alone at Paintfest. Ok so it was against USDE on a rolling game so we were all getting some trigger time in for breakfast ;) but I can't imagine realistically needing much more than that for an entire punter day. I'm actually considering taking my TiPX for a rental day. Lunch and 100 for me please Ricky !

I will see how I get on with my new ego, but on dw I would easily rip through a case of 2000 with my invert they were a bit all over the place with my cf nightstick bit better with my twister think it was down to barrel sizing/paint size.
