Editing A Paintball Adventure (section)

== Playing facilities ==

=== Indoor paintball field ===

A Paintball Adventure operated an indoor playing field with an Astroturf surface.

The WARPIG directory described the field as measuring "1000 METER", although the listing did not specify whether this referred to square metres or another measurement.[2]

The venue was advertised as having a complete spectator viewing area.

The Astroturf playing surface provided an indoor environment for recreational and competitive games.

The field was classified in the WARPIG directory as both an indoor playing facility and a concept field, indicating its suitability for compact tournament-style paintball layouts.

=== Spectator facilities ===

The venue provided an area from which spectators could watch games.

The WARPIG directory identified sheltered staging facilities and permanent restrooms, along with food facilities and paved access.[2]

The indoor configuration allowed games and viewing to take place in the same enclosed venue.

=== Rental equipment ===

A Paintball Adventure supplied semi-automatic paintball markers for recreational customers.

The WARPIG listing identified the venue as a field-paint-only operation, meaning players were required to use paintballs purchased through the field.

It also indicated that walk-on players were welcome.

=== Compressed-air facilities ===

A Paintball Adventure offered carbon dioxide and high-pressure compressed-air filling services.

The August 2005 WARPIG listing recorded:

* CO₂ fills
* 3,000 psi compressed-air fills
* 4,500 psi compressed-air fills

The listing also identified the availability of a factory-trained or authorised airsmith.[2]

The 4,500 psi capability was unusual for New Zealand paintball facilities during the mid-2000s.

Former player Michael Earley recalls A Paintball Adventure as the first New Zealand paintball field to provide 4,500 psi fills.[4]

The WARPIG record independently establishes that the service was advertised by August 2005, although the national-first claim is based on firsthand testimony.

The availability of higher-pressure fills supported players using modern compressed-air systems designed for tournament paintball.
