Its online shop, 300fps.co.nz, supplied markers, protective equipment, air systems, paintballs and clothing.

A contemporary forum report from 13 November 2011 records the business bringing its shop to a South Auckland Paintball Club tournament.[6]

An archived version of the company's website from 6 February 2013 described 300 FPS as an online retail operation run by Roy and Jenn, who played with the Bay of Plenty Paintball Club.
