Kiwi Paintball, styled Kiwi Paintball Ltd on its website, was an Auckland-based New Zealand paintball equipment sales and repair business associated with Keith Docherty. Its archived website advertised markers, equipment sourcing and access to international suppliers.[1][2]

Business

Kiwi Paintball's website stated that the business specialised in selling and repairing paintball equipment. It offered to obtain items not held in stock, including equipment not generally available in New Zealand, through international contacts.[1]

The contemporary New Zealand Paintball directory described Kiwi Paintball as a home-based supplier in its Auckland section. It named Keith Docherty as the contact and linked to the business's website at webel.co.nz/kiwi.[2]

Docherty's player profile independently identified him as a paintball equipment supplier and a member of Saints.[3]

Products

The archived deals page advertised pump-action and semi-automatic markers, including:[4]

PGP
Tagmaster, listed under the heading “Tracer”
Angel
Edge
Spyder
Automag

Some advertised packages included loaders, barrel plugs, gas cylinders or parts kits. The Angel listing stated that orders were being accepted.[4]

Website

The website contained information and contact details, a price-list page and a deals page.[1][4][5]

In the surviving version, the price-list page described the website as new and stated that a general price list was not yet available. Individual products and prices were nevertheless advertised on the separate deals page.[4][5]
