Bad Boyz Toyz

Bad Boyz Toyz operates as a comprehensive online resource documenting paintball equipment, companies, and competitive history. Run by Renick Miller out of Chicago, the site serves collectors, historians, and enthusiasts tracking the sport's technical and competitive development from its earliest days.

The archive covers:

• •Paintguns - Classified by name, type (pump, mechanical, electro), and notable platforms like Automag, Autococker, Buzzard, and Ghost
• •Manufacturers - Deep dives on companies like Airgun Designs, Carter Machine, Palmer's Pursuit Shop, Tippmann, and Worr Game Products
• •Equipment & Gear - Organized by category with historical context and technical articles
• •Teams & Players - Profiles of competitive teams (Ironmen, Lords of Discipline, Navarone) and influential players in the sport's development
• •Events - Tournament history, field information, and significant matches documented by date and name
• •Memorabilia - Patches, parts, and collectible documentation from paintball's early eras
• •Technical Content - Breakdown videos, manuals, and detailed looks at classic markers and innovations

Notable example: Documentation of Skip Swift's early 1990s Autococker innovations on the East Coast and his work with Bob Long and the Ironmen

The site preserves details on early innovations that shaped the sport—from Kenneth Farrell's F-1 Illustrator development to rare markers like the Blue Enterprises BE-90, and custom builds like Palmer's limited-run Typhoons made specifically for Renick Miller and BBT in the mid-1990s.

The site functions as a searchable, categorized archive. Users can browse by paintgun type, manufacturer, team, event, or time period. Content includes articles, photos, videos, and community contributions.
