+While the main attraction of '''Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger''', its Shaft, is unparalleled in terms of [[Survival]], its poor stability and the availability of more versatile alternatives, in particular [[Burning Kerberous|Burning Kerberous']] Neo SG (Double Bearing Version) Shaft, combined with the limitations of Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger's parts as part of the Four Layer System means that Burning Kerberous is generally a better choice, especially given '''Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger's''' relative rarity. '''This Beyblade is not a must-have, but it is nevertheless a welcome addition to any collection.'''

 Before the release of [[Wolborg]], the only BB available for players wanting to use a [[Zombie]] strategy -- or create any meaningful [[survival]] type -- was Bearing Base. The problem was that since this Beyblade did not use an SG, it was difficult to change its spin direction. However, using the AR of [[Roller Defenser]] in a certain fashion, players were able to change spin direction.

 === Use in [[Zombie|Zombies]] ===
 Bearing Base was the only BB choice for first generation [[Zombie|Zombies]]. It was effective for [[survival]], spin-stealing, and life after death. Even after the first generation, the shaft of Bearing Base could still be used in [[5-layer]] and [[6-layer]] Zombie combos.

-The AR of [[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]], Scissor Cutter, is thin and light with decent balance. It is not useful for survival/endurance/stamina or defense purposes, but it has usage as an attack AR. The normal version is far too fragile to use, but the Phantom Force version is more durable, albeit still quite fragile, and this version can be used quite effectively for [[Smash Attack]].

-[[Metal Dragoon Bearing Stinger]] is one of the most useful Beyblades released, mostly due to its BB and shaft. Unfortunately, it is also one of the oldest and rarest. Although the [[Phantom Force]] release alleviated this temporarily, it has now gone back to being practically impossible to track down. It is a shame, because it is also a Beyblade that every player should own. '''Every player should own multiples of this Beyblade.'''
