would the shape of the barrel effect the movement of the gun this shape will probley make the gun more stable but would this shape have mutch of an effect on the gun, moveing in the down word motion ie making it slow or when moveing it down farst would this make the gun shake from side to side? i persionaly have no experence in guns of this shape but with a few of this shape on the market i was wondering if the affect if noticeable or not.

IH, you are clearly a bitter, nasty, close-minded and boring person. Please don't comment on my posts ever again. I like to have a chat, rant or debate, but you lack in any decency and class and simply don't know how to go about having a constructive argument or discussion.

MKA, those photos look really great. Looking forward to mucking around with one of those in the future.

Two of the best spearguns, made in Greece today... Innovation, design, high end materials, performance ( you cant even imagine how those spearguns perform)... A c4 urukai is like a toy (and feels like one) next to them...
That`s what I call a decent gun...

Will be my pleasure to give my ``blue oceanborn`s`` to anyone for a ``test drive``, when i`ll start diving in Victoria...

cheers! :mrgreen:

Prices range from 840$ aud to 1400$...

1400$ will buy you, a 135cm full carbon speargun (balanced, weighted, on your own preferences), customized handle to fit your grip, 4X16mm rubbers, 8mm shaft , a big reel with 70-100m
dyneema line and a lifetime warranty...

----------------------------

Here`s a video, with a friend of mine, shooting a 5kilo groper (at 04.10min), from a distance of 8m (from the shaft tip) with the above speargun setup...

Hi John,
I know this gun, very good gun but it made for a reason - deep spearfishing in the "med sea". As some one who dived there for 10 years I can tell you that the conditions here are different and this gun will be unneedful here. You don't need to dive here 30m and you don't need to shoot from 8m and you don't want to load 4 slings for 2-3m shot. I use SEATEC SNAKE with 2X16 and 6.5 shaft and that is more than enough here. From oceanborn the "raptor" will be much better choice for Victorian waters.

Hey mate.

I know that an oceanborn it's a bit of an overkill in Victorias
waters. And you're absolutely right. It's made for deep spearfishing
in the mediterranean.
Just wanted to point out what a true ''decent'' speargun is from
my point of view...

Ps1. I'm hoping that I'll have the chance to use it, outside
Victoria, maybe on some Spanish! :mrgreen:

Ps2. What part of the med did you used to dive to?

Israel coast. Similar to Greece but we also had big Spanish. oceanborn guns are very popular there, also many using self made wood guns.

Ps. Are you also member on "medfish" ?

Damn Alex, at first i thought it was weird that you knew the spearguns that Bill makes (bleu), but after you mentioned medfish, the
mystery dissolved... :lol:

I`m not an active member on medfish though. But many of my buddies are (mostly from the greekdivers forum) and i lurk on the forums from time to time.

------------------------------------------------------

Jazz... You have to see them in person to realise how bad they truly are... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I think that we screwed the guys topic though. Sry for that, mate!!!

BULLSHIT.

Look at the road bikes used in the Tour De France. They are the same shape now as they were 60 years ago. They have pretty much evolved into the best they can be. Sure there are a few differences here and there which a lot of the time get changed back to the old school way anyways.........obviously materials have also changed. Spearguns are similar. The best spearguns are basic - made up of a barrel, handle with mech, muzzle, shaft with shooting line and rubbers. A good gun should be powerful, accurate and reliable. In Australia these days we are spoilt for choice and there are many good guns on the market. Many of these good guns ARE NOT railguns.

To see just a few pics of this carbon gun (which i'm sure goes ok) and say 'FINALLY A DECENT GUN' - you would have to be an outright knob.

Once again, I wasn't the one that said these were 'decent guns' or that I thought that they were better or worse than 'traditional' guns. I said that I predict that this might be the way things will head in future, for better or worse.

Look at the road bikes used in TdF? Carbon. Aerodynamic. Monocoque. I don't think you could've picked a worse analogy there as the guns MKA's flogging are all of those things. BTW I'm also a cyclist and I don't know of any examples of things getting changed back to 'the old school way'. If anything, your analogy supports these new designs.

Is this topic really worth getting enraged about?

I did say that materials have changed (carbon) old mate. Surely you can't tell me that road bikes from years ago compared to road bikes from today aren't a very similar shape & design. Who really cares anyways - These guns pictured will take no better fish than the guns of today. And because of this, saying 'gun manufacturers need this shake-up' IS bullshit.
