<p>Create sourced Boston Paintball article covering its history, playing fields, Twister markers, Committed Paintball and tournament involvement.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Boston Paintball&#039;&#039;&#039; is an American [[paintball]] business established in 1992 by [[Anthony Vitale]]. Based in Massachusetts, its activities include operating playing fields, retailing equipment and developing custom markers. It is associated with the [[Twister Autococker|Twister]] marker range, [[Committed Paintball]] and the [[New England Paintball League]].[1][2][3]<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> Boston Paintball began operating in a Boston warehouse in 1992. Its original indoor operation moved between locations over subsequent years, including a facility in Chelsea. The business also developed playing sites outside Boston.[2][4]<br /> <br /> Alongside field operations, Boston Paintball became involved in custom [[Autococker]] development. Its Express series preceded the Twister, which emerged in 1997 following development work during late 1996 and early 1997.[5]<br /> <br /> In March 2013, the company launched Committed Paintball as a new division. Committed continued the business&#039;s retail and custom-marker activities, including the next generation of Twister products.[5]<br /> <br /> == Playing fields ==<br /> As of October 2026, Boston Paintball&#039;s main website lists two playing locations: Ashland and Maynard/Sudbury.[6]<br /> <br /> The Ashland site offers indoor and outdoor play, including themed fields and a small indoor airball field. The Maynard/Sudbury site offers outdoor woodsball, tournament airball and a city-style field. The business provides both conventional and low-impact paintball.[6]<br /> <br /> Boston Paintball previously operated an indoor facility in Chelsea, documented on its retained Chelsea location page.[4]<br /> <br /> == Custom markers ==<br /> <br /> === Twister series ===<br /> The original Twister Autococker developed from Boston Paintball&#039;s Express series. Its distinctive milling followed curved lines around the marker body, giving the appearance of a twisted surface.[5]<br /> <br /> According to Committed Paintball&#039;s Anthony &quot;T2&quot; D&#039;Ambrosio, the original design was approved by Anthony Vitale and developed in collaboration with [[LAPCO]]. Markers were assembled to order with customer-selected components. Early versions included the clamshell and 45-style milling patterns.[5]<br /> <br /> The later &#039;&#039;&#039;TWSTR&#039;&#039;&#039; branding distinguished the revived product line from the earlier markers. The [[Planet Eclipse Ego|Planet Eclipse Ego LV1]] was the first platform in this newer range, followed by further custom-marker projects under Committed Paintball.[5]<br /> <br /> == Tournament paintball ==<br /> Boston Paintball is associated with the New England Paintball League (NEPL) and New England Xball League (NEXL). The leagues provide regional tournament competition, and their official website identifies itself as a Boston Paintball site.[3][7]<br /> <br /> The company&#039;s wider paintball activities also include involvement with [[BKi Paintball]], [[Team USA Paintball]] and the [[Heroines]] women&#039;s professional team. A 2023 interview with Vitale discussed his work across these programmes and his role in establishing the [[Paintball Combine]].[1][3]<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Anthony Vitale]]<br /> * [[Committed Paintball]]<br /> * [[Twister Autococker]]<br /> * [[New England Paintball League]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> # [https://paintballnerd.com/blogs/interviews/industry-impact-interview-with-anthony-vitale Industry Impact Interview with Anthony Vitale].
