Editing Commando One Paintball (section)

== Playing facilities ==

=== Penrose ===

Tapper's profile described the Penrose facility as a five-acre urban depot and bunker.[2]

The contemporary field directory described predominantly artificial cover, mostly flat ground with a central depression, and a raised spectator area protected by mesh screens. Rental equipment included SL-68, VM-68 and Equalizer markers.[4]

=== Whangārata ===

Tapper identified the Whangārata site as the 140-acre Riverland Adventure property.[2]

The April 2000 WARPIG listing recorded wooded playing areas, pump-action and semi-automatic rental markers, carbon dioxide filling, sheltered staging areas and paved parking or access. Walk-on players were welcome, and players could bring their own equipment and paintballs.[3]

Earley recalls examples of early New Zealand-made [[Pursuit Supplies International]] equipment being retained at Whangārata, including the M-16 Stinger and Scorpion Elite. These model identifications are based on his recollections rather than a surviving equipment inventory.
