Oh my god.

That is a brass eagle stingray I and yes I had one about 9 years ago. That gun is what started the Walmart paintball gun and was what ended brass eagle. Brass Eagle before was based in Canada and used all metal guns. They came up with this, quality deteriorated, and now you have walmart guns. And I played with mine once for $#!+'s and giggles and yes they suck. And that gun is not 30 years old, paintballs only been around since 81 and really took off in the mid 80's. Just an FYI I hate it when people call crappy guns that areent even that old "Old School" or "hawt". The stingray was B.E.'s paltform for getting out of qualtity and into walmart.

I had hte more advanced brass eagle talon as my first gun back in hte day when paintball was mainly adults only with pump guns with their velocity set as high as it could go

**counterstrike53** · March 8th, 03:17 PM

I'm not one for oldschool. I dont know why you guys are giving it 10/10's unless your being sarcastic. How can you give ANYTHING else in this category a 5 when this got a 10? I dont care if it was the sweetest thing 95 years ago, my rating of 2/10 stands (because i think the paint job would really keep your gun concealed if you plan on playing woodsball with this gun)

***Hsureddiepb*** · March 8th, 04:12 PM

there is no way that gun is 30 years old...the sport first started in 1984-1985 and even the very first markers weren't semi automatic nor did they run on Constant Air since it didn't exist. That gun is Brass Eagle Singray 1...so it's not that old...

**Brockocoli** · March 8th, 04:15 PM

i have one like yours. a stingray 1. they're only about 10-12 years old.

yours=6/10 get rid of the paintjob and slap some stickers on it. like i did

not to flame or anything, this is a stingray I paintball gun.

some info on it. brass eagle popped up in the late 80's debuting their "top of the line" pump guns, which were actually top of the line, these included the Nightmare SB and LB as well as the Cobra hopper fed. the nightmare line had a bad issue with hammer bounce wich led to the development of the first inline blowback gun from them called the Eagle. it was basically a hopper fed nightmare with a different trigger unit. around 89-90 they made double actions such as the mini, jaguar, poison, golden eagle, and barracuda(very cool). these guns shot ok but had crappy trigger pulls but shot good still. later on in the 90's im gonna have to say around 94 they came out with their cheap quality guns we know them for today, the stingray I and the tigershark. the stingray I was based on the inline valve system(think tippmann) and had a long barrel shroud that IS removable to conceal a cheap potmetal barrel. these guns shot nicely and were fairly reliable, however they were mostly plastic. later when the advent of people wanting to change barrels quicker, along with closer quarters battles and not the woodsball they introduced the stingray II a slightly improved model that was shorted due to not having the big barrel shroud, and a shorter barrel. they didnt shoot as nicely but are fairly reliable. brass eagle around 97 tried to go back into the high end market, once again not making it, but they put out a nice gun, an electro(yes this early) one of the first electro's, and also they were supposed to be the retailers for the Angel, yes brass eagles name in front the the famed angel....dont belive me here's a actual ad from APG.

anyway they are still a nice gun, just wanted to tell the actual history of it, not calling your uncle a liar, just possibly an over exaggerator. still, i have a few stingray I's nice shooters but not quite 30 years old.

stingrays are little guns you can buy at wal mart.

edit: now that i think about it, was the first game played in '80, '82, or '85? well, even then brass eagle was not in existence.

Thank you. Just another old gun. Not going to rate it because of it's so called "old school" but by performance. 4/10.
