What do all of you guys think the best begginer paintball gun is? I've heard some people say the stingray is very good, and I've heard others say the winchester durango is very good. My brother is looking into buying one of these two and I want to know your opinion. Thanks

Niether if you can at all avoid it, but if not go with the Stingray. I don't recommend it, but it is an okay gun for a beginner to learn on. YOu will have lots of fun figuring out what went wrong this time with it. My real advise is save up the extra 20 bucks and get either a Pirahna VTL, a Spyder compact, or a tippman M98. You'll have more fun playing and less fun fixing you gun.

I would say also save 20 bucks and go for a compact or a piranha. But if not take a stingray. I put a 14" barrel on it and I drilled holes in the plastic and put a strap on. The Stingray is a little more main stream and would be easier to get parts for

Who was telling you that both of those guns are very good? I wouldn't trust much that he says.

Id go with the stingray. My friends brother has a durango and hates it. And when it brakes no one knows how to fix it

GET A SPYDER COMPACT 2000!!! This gun is 100 times better than the stingray, easy to maintain, easy to upgrade if you want to do it someday (but that is not mandatory at all) and performs pretty well. GET IT!

I would defientyl buy the compact, because then over time u can upgrade the hell out of it, theres not much u can do with either one of those guns. However, if ur only deciding between those two guns, get the stingray. I knwo someone who has one with a 9 ounce tank, and they havent had a problem with it. Hope this helps

I wouldn't go with either the Stingray sux the Durango sux too. Get a Piranha vtl or a Compact2000 those are the 2 best. The Stingray breaks balls way to much! The Durango is even worsier then the Stingray. Who ever told you those guns are good i should go over there and smack him.

Definitely get a Spyder Compact 2000. Stingrays are horrible for both performance and reliability. If u get a Stingray, ull just end up returning it or having it break.
