Paintball - I get between 25-27 consistently with my Core ZX3 PB
Pistol set at 285fps (velocity).

It varies. You can get as few as 12-15 with some of the semi pistols;
on the other hand, some people can wring out 40 or more effective
shots out of them using a well-tuned pump, like a PGP or Phantom.
Shooting quickly will reduce your shot count as well.

When I first got my pistol it would get about 19-21. I took it apart
and put some good grease and oil in it and smoothed out a couple of
things and it works great. I have not performed any other tweaks to
it as it is great as it is. Mine is on the bottom of the web page
below.

We're talking about single cartridges, not how many you get out of
your six-pack, ya TWiB.

I have a vid on my HDD where a guy got 37 good shots with a WSP with delrin
bolt and striker. The pistol did cost him a total of almost 250$ but he gets
30+ shots on an average warm day
take a chill pill old man ;-)))

I whiped out a Point Zero Beetle this weekend, got about 30 shots on a
12 gram before it started to drop

That has got to be the cheapest PB gun on the planet... Worked pretty
good though as long as you pointed the barrel to the sky when you
cocked it.

we are working up a game that every one will go into the field with
only a beetle, it will be skill against skill alone... I'm so dead...
