The first version was awesome! Now this, is another level. I will surely buy this. I'm in the Netherlands, shipping is so fast to here too! I'm crazy excited!
Have you tried supercavitating tips? From what I’ve seen of supercavitating bullets, it doesn’t seem all that complicated to machine from rod stock. From back to front: a cylindrical section for weight, a long conical section, a small round groove most of the way to the tip, and a rather blunt but small cone tip.
A big issue with cavitating tips is the act of cavitation slows the spear a whole lot. Remember what cavitation is. A nearly explosive vacuum happening at the edge of an object in a gas or liquid.
Really cool! But I'm unsure how well these would work for spearfishing. I can see two glaring problems. The first being the lack of any string which is crucial in spearfishing, and the second being the fairly small projectiles. I could imagine it working, but it depends on accuracy a lot. When you hit a fish when spearfishing, it's often still alive after the first shot. The string keeps it tethered to the speargun so it can't swim away before it dies. With a gun like this however, your shots need to be very accurate. You'd need to hit the fish directly in the head, or along the spine to immobilize it instantly before it could swim away. You get the benefit of follow up shots and an easier time aiming compared to a speargun, but since the weapon is quite loud, it might scare the fish away after the first shot if you miss, or you could hit the fish poorly and it'd just swim away before dying much later, far out of your reach. Since the projectile is small as well, that means you have less of a chance of hitting an important organ; such as the brain or spine, which you would need to do because of the lack of string. I'd really be interested to see someone spearfishing with this though. The small size and possibility for follow up shots could make it an interesting choice for people spearfishing larger fish. For example, if you speared a tuna or stripped bass poorly, and it was still alive and putting up a fight, you could definitely use something like this to quickly shoot it in the head and kill it. Kinda like an actual sidearm lol Again, it's a really cool design!
I'm pumping the tanks to 6000psi. They haven't exploded. Been doing it since December. Although my PCP hand pump is experiencing leaks and issues after pumping it to high pressure for that long.
I watched his other video he made speaking in German, of this underwater test. I tapped gear or setting icon on upper right corner an went to caption and tapped on English translation. But he was speaking alot more than it typed on the screen. I don't trust that translation setting. But now I can hear it in English straight from him. One thing that's the exact same in his German and his English videos, is his awesome deep laughter. Got to love that. An the more happy he gets from these tools of fun he builds or tests, the better his laughs get. Hahaha
Underwater guns like this have actually been in use since like the 50s. It’s a very intriguing sub genre of firearm (he he, sub) as underwater firearms involve lots of unique constraints.
@@Christianos_Theophile You are partly correct. Fish blood is going to get other fish(sharks)attention. (unlike human blood that is exaggerated in movies)And sharks from miles away can detect the blood. But there has to be other things that attract them, such as noise and thrashing about to really get them charging in for a feeding frenzy. The close up method of deterring a shark from feeding on you is to bludgeon its snout where its senses are. This weapon shot there from a short distance would do the same, only more dramatic. Shooting another part of the body might distract it, but not likely going to have the same effect. And on a side note, a sharks 1st hit on a person is to see if it is prey or unworthy food.(like an object) Which smacking the snout before the hit or at the time of the "bump" is often sufficient. But most people don't want to risk the close encounter, so they go straight for the pre-emptive strike out of fear.
I've never seen such compact spearguns like that those are cool when I first saw them I thought they were a new type of taser I used to have a long spear gun that was powered by a 12 gauge but it was the size of a long shotgun I used to take it when deep sea diving for shark defense when searching for cool looking shells, and stuff I always went deep-sea diving to try and find cool things to decorate my home with, and I ended up buying the 12 Gauge spear rifle after an encounter with a shark
A lot of people forget what water ranges are vs in air. Max range in water being 2-3 meters is similar to 15-20 meters in air. That range is only really for accuracy not penetration power. Salt water is roughly 850 x more dense than air when accounting for salt & that's at surface level. As you go deeper in water the pressure & density goes up dramatically.
@@Slingshotchannel True. I meant the density of salt water & how even though it's not compressible water has differing density due to salt content & temperature. Subtle as those effects are & the effects on ballistics.
Was wurde bezüglich der Verlässlichkeit unter Wasser bemängelt bei der MK1? :) löste sie manchmal nicht aus oder korrodierten die Alurohre oder in welche Richtung geht es? Mir scheint die MK1 supper verarbeitet zu sein. Eine tolle Modulare Plattform. Wirklich klasse. Mega wäre, wenn man eine Kartuschentrommel hätte wie bei einem Revolver.^^ sodass man nur einen Lauf braucht. Wer hatte das 3D-Model erstellt? Vllt könnte ich da was verfeinern^^
Manchmal zündete sie nicht unter Wasser, vor allem mit den Stahl-Berstscheiben und bei zu geringem Druck. Eine Trommelversion müsste leider sehr klobig werden, die Kartuschen sind ziemlich dick. Das wäre unpraktisch.
Still needs more power. 3 meter is a bit anemic in particular against bigger fish. If it the power can be increased to 5m without being bigger it would be really nice. Also some improvement for making it easier to attach a reel to the bolt, those bolts are expensive.

Now it just needs a little clip to hold the rims of the cartridges so you can put 2 in at the same time and remove them together 😎..Will solve the issue of having to fumble with individual cartridges if you have to reload underwater.
It's not a shotgun shell, it just looks a lot like one. It is using compressed air to propel the bolt/dart. The trick is how piercing a plate at the rear rapidly releases lots of air into the hollow barrel of the bolt causing it to whizz off.
@@stupidhandles one can never have enough grappling hooks, ive got 4 perhaps, but i dont think anyone has done a harpoon gun that can also shoot a flare, which makes sense from a boating point of view, and a grappling hook fired from 12 gauge, i got the ideal from the titaner hook which is about the size of shotgun, but the lower power of a scubaringer might be able to launch it, other people have made dedicated grappling hook launchers using compressed air, so i wondered if it woyld be an easy mod....
Are you aware a similar concept was successfully produced in the 1960's, the Johnson submarine speargun (SMG) (Alock and Pierce also made a single barreled version) used waterproof plastic sleeved 22lr ramset blanks to propel a spear. These spearguns were awfully heavy, most had multiple barrels (in a Revolver/Gatling gun type assembly) and even though they were only 22lr they were very loud.....but quite powerful. Banded from use in most places around the world, one of my spearo mates used to use one in the 80's. Not sure you really need a shotgun shell to propel a spear
@@Ezakin00 My bad watching on my phone ..... and the cartridges looked like shotgun shells, thanks for the correction. Btw....CO2 has been done before to......there are quite a few issues to overcome with pneumatic powered spearguns, mainly the negative effect of depth on their power. Maybe useful for zombie apocalypse, but when it comes to gun size small spearguns have fundamental issues with released spear line capacity, and spear stability and inertia. Not trying to be negative just injecting some real life experience.
@slingshotchannel I am buying your product after watching this video.The MK2 looks like it needs some spearfishing modifications, but it is insanely powerful. What thread is on the Mk2 tip and arrow? How many grams is recommended for a spearfishing tip ? Is there a retrieving line setup/reel? This product has a ton of potential. Congratulations on a great product! Feel free to reach out
I am very careful these days when it comes to filming with girls. I only film with people I know and trust, or if there are several other people around all of the time. I am a wealthy man and that attracts the sharks, females and males alike.
I did test crossbows under water, but they don't work. The limbs are slowed down very much by the water resistance, the bolts fly maybe 2 meters and then sink down, tips first. Rubber based spear guns work much better. But they are bulky. If you want a pistol size spear gun, compressed air or gun powder is the best option.
so whats the use of this harpoon if no string atached to the arrow? fish do not fall dead by this sharp arrow unless it has explosive head ruining entire catch, I guess it is a self defense gun sold under cover of regulations...please show us a field test under real condition , also how does your ears get after that close explsion under water?
You can very easily attach a string to the bolts, right behind the tip. Ears, no problem. You feel the shot in the stomach, but it is much louder above water.
People in the comments are making the common mistake of assuming it is a shotgun shell. It is compressed air. No explosion happens. It's probably loud, but _not_ ear damaging.
@@stephen-boddy yes I know it is comp air but the short run is not as efficient as the long air harpoon. Besides. Not string nor expanding tip to keep wounded prey swimming away.
@@Slingshotchannel hi joerg.. easy is never done.. only you could And notso easy to have the string neatly fit and easily released under water But I know. YOU CAN DO IT
@@Slingshotchannel please show us how the string attached to end of bolt fits inside barrel or inside propelling piston please Also scuba harpoons have a reach of at least 3 mts Saw you testing at .5 mts Just kindly asking.. I m a big fan of your channel
@@Slingshotchannel yeah, but no spearguns costs so much. For that money and mantence effort it should give pretty nice features... If I need to be such close underwater, why just not to use Shootka harpoon?? Hawaian sling or whatever that costs 25 dollars and not as much as that gun?
@@AnaisGutierrez-iv3cw i get you... But this is a gun, and it's very small and compact. You can put it on a holster. Or bring it to some places/car without too much trouble
I don't really know, it isn't a very good harpoon gun for the money. It just is much smaller and lighter than competition. We still sell it really really well. My suspicion is that most people buy it because it is unregulated and it is super super deadly above water. So they abuse it for self defense.
Well... "spearfishing" with a "Speargun" without line attached to the spear is quite ... stupid? Anyone REALLY practicing spearfishing knows why. There are at least 2 reasons for that...
Next let’s see a test where you shoot them at a large piece of pork underwater. That is what people buy it for, meat. Not a super flimsy piece of plywood..

Have you tried supercavitating tips? From what I’ve seen of supercavitating bullets, it doesn’t seem all that complicated to machine from rod stock. From back to front: a cylindrical section for weight, a long conical section, a small round groove most of the way to the tip, and a rather blunt but small cone tip.
A big issue with cavitating tips is the act of cavitation slows the spear a whole lot. Remember what cavitation is. A nearly explosive vacuum happening at the edge of an object in a gas or liquid.
This one is for Steve Irwin.

I'd really be interested to see someone spearfishing with this though. The small size and possibility for follow up shots could make it an interesting choice for people spearfishing larger fish.
For example, if you speared a tuna or stripped bass poorly, and it was still alive and putting up a fight, you could definitely use something like this to quickly shoot it in the head and kill it.
Kinda like an actual sidearm lol
Again, it's a really cool design!
You can attach a line in 30 seconds of course, just tie it to the tips (they are screwed into the spear shafts).
@@Slingshotchannel I see it as more of a shark defense than spearfishing tool

Well... "spearfishing" with a "Speargun" without line attached to the spear is quite ... stupid?
Anyone REALLY practicing spearfishing knows why. There are at least 2 reasons for that...
Attaching a string takes about 30 seconds.
@@Slingshotchannel oh, there are eylets or similar on the Bolts to do that, and it still fits into the gun with a string?
Next let’s see a test where you shoot them at a large piece of pork underwater. That is what people buy it for, meat. Not a super flimsy piece of plywood..
Plywood is not flimsy, especially to piercing, and I don't think the pool owner would appreciate a bunch of pork grease in his pool pump.
NOWHERE SELLS THE OLD ONE LET ALONE THIS ONE, WHY EVEN ADVERTISE SOMETHING I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO BUY FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS, WASTE OF TIME!!!
The time has come, we will put it in the shop next week. The goods have arrived and we are in the final stages of the tests.
@@Slingshotchannel COME ON BRO, I REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT ONE, IT IS NO 1 ON MY SHOPPING LIST
@@Slingshotchannel I'll buy at least 3 full packages, I've been trying to find the last model at least from 2 years
Sound unintelligible.
Am i the only one annoyed by the reflection of light on the water right in front of the target? It completely obscures the shot.
That is why I use the underwater target cam too.
Mighty big gripes for a free video.
@JoergSprave for sure. I'm sorry, I shouldn't be complaining, and I love your content!
so they may work at like 30 cm distance,. wow..
