There was a vhs copy of this included with the stingray 2 plastic lock box package back in the mid 90's. I got a copy for free from a friend of the family who worked at walmart. It was separated from a package that was sold, and it was "thrown out". It's still kicking around somewhere at my dad's house in texas. I remember always wanting a z leader mask because of this video but never being able to find one. I wish someone would do a reproduction with an easy to get modern lens.

Fred was a great face for paint ball. In fact, most of the old ones, Fred Shultz, JJ Brookshire, Dave Youngblood, Bob Long, and Oh Pawluk were better that what there is to offer today. I miss those guys.

How dare you post this on the internet. There are children out there.
Did anybody else notice that the measured one ball at .679 and the next at .693. Brass Eagle, the best!

I always liked Brass Eagle stuff up until the point they decided that making everything clear plastic was the way to go. It wasn't ever top of the line but at least you could count on your marker not exploding which you can't say about their stuff now.

68 Eagle. Not a bad gun but the body would crack at the grip from the co2 when you would dump a 12 gram.

?? Which line?
I've been at this since '85 or 6, can't remember anymore. Even the Cobra and King Cobra, though cool and semi popular were plagued with hammer bounce. The Nightmares I sold and owned used an aluminum that was too soft and wallowed out bolt holes, The jag and Cuda were better built and fun to shoot if your fore arms were the size of your thighs, I have a dozen Stingrays where 12 work on Friday evening but have never had more than 6 work on Saturday.

Sorry, There might have been a short time when they were up in Massugga (sp) that they were good for the limited area they were in but other than the cool factor of the long barrel with long pump I would never put them in the top of the line category.
