Of course they can... its all a function of shaft thickness *insert Sven comment here*
Slip tips will toggle within a fish, say against the spine or under the skin but for maximum holding potential you want full penetration and a toggle on the other side of the fish.
Avoid the temptation to shoot the Tuna in the gillplates. Terry Maas tells the story in his book of how his tuna gun shaft bounced off a gillplate. Probably the best option is to shoot from behind the fish, slightly downwards so the shaft enters above the pectoral fin and exits near the gill area on the opposite side. That way you are doing max damage to the fishs blodd supply.
If you are going to use a euro gun setup for for a breakawy, at least a 7.5mm shaft and a gun length of at least 130cm. Thats the RobAllen setup that has taken Marlin, Sailfish and Dogtooth in the past.
