Editing Daniel Bacci (section)

== Paintball history and collecting ==

Bacci began collecting historical paintball equipment and memorabilia before establishing BacciPaintball.com in 2012. According to his own account, he developed the website to make parts for older paintball markers available while preserving information about the equipment and its manufacturers.[2][4]

The website initially combined equipment sales with historical articles published through a blog called ''OldNews''. Bacci subsequently expanded his research into photographs, advertisements, instruction manuals, magazine scans and interviews with individuals involved in the sport's development.[4]

In 2014, he began expanding his video documentation through the Bacci Paintball YouTube channel.[2]

Bacci is recognised by the General Paintball Museum as a paintball historian and collector specialising in the period from the 1980s to approximately 2000.[1]
