The length of a European Gun is measuring BAND STRETCH length / from where the bands start to the back notch/sharkfin (the hardest one to load). That’s effective length
I just bought an OceanAmmo "Viperine 100", its a mid handle, double band, it doesn't have the perfect finish like say a Koah, but the component's and teak are of excellent quality. I hunt mangrove roots to rocks, just getting into the deeper stuff, i think its the perfect all around speargun.
5/16” : 7.94mm and 11/32” : 8.75mm and 3/8”: 9.5mm kicks like a mule unless you have an 18lb gun. Bridles (in Australia or RSA) in English in America we call them wishbones
I bought a euro travel speargun that costs $950. I do a lot of spearfishing and I travel with it a few times a year on a plane outside of Florida. So the fact it breaks down is very good for that. I made a speargun in woodworking class 12 years ago in high school. It is good for the casual spear-fisher. I however do it a lot. I try to stay away from processed foods so I’m in the water almost every day skewing my dinner. Also I’ve done it all over the world. If you find yourself really into it then shell out the money for a good speargun that will serve you well.
But admit it, we are all just keep spending money and try to get that one gun that will do it all. Ending up that one gun that rules you instead. Bigger and bigger guns, bigger and bigger fishes, Less and less numbers, more and more selective.
I’m from the Caribbean and I have a 75cm that shoots mahi kingfish snook huge mutton’s mackies jacks grouper rainbow runners and before that I had a 60 cm
I think those big guns are overkill. Not a pro here just stating what I think. I think those big guns evolved in CA because guys were thinking they needed bigger guns because they were not penetrating. But the reason they weren’t penetrating is the smaller” gun they had was overpowered. With well tuned set of bands now a very small gun can make it through impressive fish. I’m not e peri ended with tuna and really have no idea on what’s needed to get a holding shot but I have shot my fair share of large cobia with an 85 with 2x 14mm bands and had crazy penetration (like not even close shaft goes 2/3 of the way through fish). The guys at wettie tv say the same with kingfish; guns in the 110 range taking down huge 20 kg king fish etc. but everyone does what they want that is just my opinion on why cali guns are so big.
7mm is 9/32” (7.10) and you said 7.5mm which is the same as 19/64”. Just to help your video viewers. 8mm on most Euro “Pipe” guns is too heavy, overkill and kicks like a mule.
Not sure how I should say it, but knowledge comes from trying and testing and learning how to make any gun suits you, it is all about setup, the idea of keep using one gun because you shoot accurate with it, is wrong idea! instead, people should be taught how to setup a gun to deliver them what they need! not just keep trying million guns until they found the gun that suits them!
Without offense, Really outdated guns in this video. Big, heavy, not opitimized with too many bands . The only speargun that deserves interest is the Abellan 110
More and more good content coming out!🎉
That Rob Allen I handed you was a good one, super accurate, plenty of beef...
Such a great speargun!

why did you switch from the mannysub 110 roller to this?
What is a good strong dyneema that is stiff and orange for visibility?
Good info by the time way 👍
Mannysub makes a nice one. I use white, but maybe they have orange
Sounds good I'll.look into it
Thank you
Keep the content coming..
what sheet is this ?//invert roller my frend only
if you want to save money just build your own speargun like i did, I make wood gun wood handle and also the trigger mechanism

Nice video but these spearguns are so ugly
So paint some flowers on it. 😏
