'''Paintball Factory''' was a New Zealand online paintball equipment retailer based in [[Feilding]], [[Manawatū]]. Its archived website documents sales of paintballs, markers, playing equipment and accessories in 2020–2022, alongside links with tournaments at [[Arena Paintball]]. [1][2][3]

== History ==

In January 2020, Paintball Factory's website listed its contact address as 18 Darragh Road, Feilding. The online shop advertised Pro-Shar paintballs, including .50-calibre paint, together with playing equipment, casual clothing and accessories. [1]

By January 2022, the website listed 558 Kimbolton Road, Feilding, the address of [[Arena Paintball]]. Its catalogue included Planet Eclipse markers, Virtue loaders and goggles, HK Army equipment, Carbon products and Field One equipment. [2][3]

== Tournament involvement ==

The [[2021 Paintball Factory Cup]] was listed for 24–25 April 2021 at Arena Paintball. The PBLeagues event record identifies eight paid entries in its open five-player division. [4]

Arena Paintball's announcements for its 2022 five-player Race series directed teams to Paintball Factory's website for paintball pricing. The advertised rounds were scheduled for 16–17 April, 4–5 June and 22–23 October. [3]

== Relationship with Paintball Direct NZ ==

Paintball Factory's January 2022 website listed the same Kimbolton Road address and telephone number subsequently advertised by [[Paintball Direct NZ]] for its Feilding showroom. [2][5]
