Another thing folks who prefer this type of play might look
for is "stock" games.  Generally, they will be limited ammo,
and also pump only (e.g. no semi's).  Some allow constant
air, some are 12g CO^2 carts only. [1]

We also used to play "hopper ball" when we had private
games, as a way to challenge ourselves, since none of
us had stock gear.

As a side note, you will find very, very few paintball fields
(at least if they are insured and reputable) allow full auto.
There has been a very strong move in the last year with
the tournament leagues on limiting ROF to 15 bps,
period.  This really plays havoc with the pb kids that have
been sitting with their pb guns since they were 10, and
can "walk" the trigger at 20+ bps. :-D  Not that I'll com-
plain.

 at it, haven't laid hands on it yet:
