If you're just starting out, you really can't go wrong with a 90 cm slingshot gun. It’s one of those versatile pieces of gear that stays in your kit forever because it works as a perfect all-around tool.
In terms of value, I’d highly recommend picking up a Picasso Century. It’s a total best buy—reliable, precise, and straightforward enough to last you a long time.
Honestly, slingshot guns offer so many more advantages over pneumatic models, especially if you compare them to those outdated pneumatic designs that frankly aren't even worth considering anymore.
The only exceptions would be the Cyrano or the mambo, but those are specialized tools meant for seasoned divers hunting larger pelagic fish or toothy predators.
