I hate to say it but BE isen't that bad. BE is the company that first got me intrested in paintball. I would have never started playing if I didn't see thoes talons at wallmart and got one for like 20 bucks. Later I went to the stingray II which to me was awsome since i was new to the sport. Later the stingray exploaded right before my eyes the first time i used it in a game. But after that i still was using BE products. I returned the chuncks of plastic back to wallmart without a problem then got a BE raptor. It worked great for like a year untill i saw an automag 68 on the field. Thats when I had to get one. Now i love my automag and e-mag "once you gone mag you'll never go back". But after experiencing BE products i still think they are good to some extent.

if you guys wanna hear something funny, the local dunhams by where I live is selling a 200 rd jug of BE paint....the funny part is that about 5-10 of the balls are busted inside and there is like hardened paint on the bottom of the jug.....even funnier the balls are on clearance for 7.99 instead of 9.99 if it's still there on sunday when I'm back from guard drill I'll take some pics and show you all....

First things first..i don't care for BE products. Second, I am willing to bet that over half of the people who plays paintball, started out with some type of BE gun, even if it sucked. BE does a good job at introducing people to paintball with their low priced equipment. Also, BE is its own company. They also own Viewloader and JT. Heck, I don't live far from where BE Headquarters is. It is in Rogers, AR and I live at Pine Bluff, AR.

My Stingray ice was almost indestructable. I used it for about 2 months and just a week ago, dug it out of the closet and beat it to death

Took around 10 hard hits with a hammer to get the breech to break off. The metal internals actually bent easier than the body cracked. The metal ball detent almost hit me in the eye when the breech cracked. That ball detent killed my bolt though. Aluminum bolt and Steel detent....will they ever learn?

Overall, the body is indestructable but I wish I could say that much about the rest of the gun

King Cobra
Jaguar
Golden Eagle

Now those were some Brass Eagle markers that epitomized durability. The barrel of my King Cobra I could use as a belaying pin, the Jag's internals were meant to be used for a hundred years and I swear that golden eagle weighed ten pounds without a tank on it. I miss the old BE.
