'''Shock Tactics''' was a New Zealand tournament [[paintball]] team documented in national and regional competitions during 2001 and 2002. Its best recorded result was seventh in the Cup standings at the [[2002 Volcanic Rotorua Paintball Tournament]].[5]

The singular name '''Shock Tactic''', printed in the 2001 Rotorua Volcanic results, was a spelling variant of Shock Tactics.[1] Related entries named '''Shock (W)''' and '''Shock (P)''' competed separately from Shock Tactics at the 2002 Hawke's Bay 3-Man. The surviving report does not explain the two qualifiers, and their results are therefore retained as separate event-squad records.[4]
