Editing Paintball Mania (section)

== History ==

=== Early operations ===

Paintball Mania maintained a paintball facility at No. 6 Ramla Street, Magħtab, approached from the Coast Road near Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq.

Its historical website, maltapaintballmania.com, was operational by August 2015. An archived version identified the venue's location, provided booking information and advertised both recreational paintball sessions and field rental for players using their own equipment. [1]

Earlier archived versions of the domain from 2011 and 2013 displayed domain-parking pages rather than an operational paintball website. These captures do not establish when the business first opened.

=== Recreational paintball ===

Paintball Mania provided organised recreational paintball games, including group bookings and equipment rental.

A commercial offer published by Deal.com.mt and valid until the end of November 2015 advertised five playing sessions of approximately 15 minutes each, with 300 paintballs per participant. The package included overalls, protective vests and full-face masks. [2]

The offer required a minimum booking of ten participants and specified an age restriction of 18 years and over.

Paintball Mania also advertised evening games. Surviving promotional material includes a night-games announcement dated 9 November 2018. [3]

=== Local paintball community ===

In addition to recreational bookings, Paintball Mania offered facilities for players who owned their own equipment.

The venue's archived website advertised field rental for such players at €10 per person. It also featured a photographic gallery associated with KAO$ Malta Paintball Team, an established local paintball group. [1][4]

The presence of the team gallery provides documentary evidence of a connection between the commercial venue and Malta's organised paintball community.

A later public Facebook discussion also refers to SouthClan Paintball Team Malta training at the Magħtab venue. [5]

These records establish use of the venue by established paintball players, although they do not independently establish the dates or results of formal tournaments at Paintball Mania.
