It's low quality.. You can see that from the reviews on this site.. but i look it looks better than the Stingray :cool:
But defiantly go for the Stingray II..i've had mine for 3 years and no problems yet. Although..i haven't used it much, but its a good marker to have laying around for your friend to play w/..a friend who doesn't know that it is jack shiat, so he will still use it out of ignorance. :D

I bought this gun to see how it compared to my impulse:laugh:
Anyway, I got from the Wal-Mart and opened it up. It Felt like Sh*t right out of the box!!! :drop:
I screw in the 12 gram and it F*ckin cracks!!! :pissed:
I breack out the super glue, and ATTEMPT to fix it.
1 gour latter I Try to get the 12 gram in and it works.
I break out the ol' Impulse and proceeded to compare,
Well It it SH*T!!!!!!! If you are going cheap get a talon at least when you shoot it you won't get hit in the back with your own paint!

I hear every *****ing and complaining about breaking their blade when they screw the co2 in. Its a plastic gun, you cant turn it farther then it was made to go. That makes sense doesnt it. Even you people with cockers and what not should be able to work a blade.

I agree with Spyderboy. I admit the blade is a low (low) quality paintball marker, however if you handle it with care and common sense you won't have a problem with it. When you feel the plastic stop, (this is the important part now children) Don't force it it is after all, plastic. So many times I see people handle a Brass Eagle gun with a chip on their shoulder, automatically assuming because it was it cheap it is also worthless. They weild it with contempt solely because it is a Brass eagle gun without giving it the time or the chance to prove itself at all. If you expect it to break, of coure you'll find a reason to break it. If you expect it to have poor aim, of course you'll miss with it. So please, the next time you handle a Brass eagle product, forget all the negative things you've read about it. Forget about how little it costed in contrast to your big expensive high end marker. Just enjoy it for what it is--a paintball gun.

its low even for brass eagle. the part with threading that screws into the 12 gram changer splits. the design is highly flawd. iv seen numerous blades split or leak co2. this is not from overtightening it. well it probably was but i tried inserting the 12 gram for them and thr problem persisted. the plastic just splits apart. i used a hose clamp to solve that problem. the gun cracked from the hard barrel plug. shoulda been rubber.
be guns really do self destruct quickly.
the stingray has a steel ball detent and a aluminum bolt.:mad:

Well you have to remember you get what you pay for. It's like $20 worth of paintball gun so of course theres bound to be problems. I just don't like it when people deliberately try to beat the heck out of the gun just to prove that it's lousy.
