i'd say a mix of both. Not 100% sure but i'd say edge & airmrite would be the same deal. What i am sure about is saying that 'edge guns leave all others for dead' is crazy talk!

You will find all guns use imported part of some sort what ever you buy.

out of all the Ali guns i have used ( Rob allan, Torelli, Picasso, Freedivers) the Edge guns are the most accurate and well built guns ( 32mm barrel is a big step up IMO)

Picasso Asegai 100. I've had the gun for around 2 years, never had one single issue with it. Highly recommended

Ridiculous statement, they all have a mech, barrel, shaft etc. Set up properly they'll all be accurate or they would be out of business.

Personally if i can get a reputable gun for a good price then that's the one for me. Used heaps and only ever been unhappy with guns that are under 1mt or have a single 16mm rubber.

I'm very happy with my 90 cm pipe gun, the perfect length for everyday Vic spearing. Have taken pretty much everything you're likely to see rockhopping in Vic with it (except kingfish - yet to see a kingfish while diving with it). Different guns for different folks.

Shot the second biggest snapper that I've ever laid eyes on in Vic point blank behind the eye with a 90cm running a single 16. Fish rolled halfway just like I'd stoned it then came back to life, shook the spear as it hadn't penetrated all the way through and swam off. Got him swimming off on camera, no consolation as we both estimated around 5kgs. I also saw a trump from the surface purposely dodge a shaft sent his way about 12mts down, almost slo mo as you could see the shaft in motion. Again single 16 on a 90cm gun.

I have used 90's since and smashed plenty of fish with em but that snapper haunts me, bigger gun woulda stoned it!

Yeah fair enough I'd be pretty upset with that!

I love the dickwads without a clue who say "I love my (insert brand of gun here), it's got heaps of power" when the reality is any gun with the same stretch on the same rubber has the same power.
