speaking of sporting and unsporting, does anyone think that the Picasso Century Twin is unsporting?
seems odd to need two spears for something that is as small as a reef gun? it might make more sense on a bluewater setup with dual enclosed rails to finish an otherwise sloppy shot to a strong fish.
if you add a lasersight to a speargun with two shots does that make it unsporting?

where I live, many of the fish are over harvested, primarily by Line fishing, and commercial trawling from Japan, however spearfishing is increasing in popularity, and it would seem that a reef gun with double spears might compound over fishing in many areas if everyone used it to catch two fish per dive.

I wonder why man feels the necessity to improve on a method (such as a pole spear) that is oftentimes in its own right highly successful with the right knowledge.

I used a polespear for 6 months straight while waiting for the speargun, and I learned alot about stalking and swimming. getting close is not a problem, getting the one I want sometimes is. seeing a giant trevally in the 70lb range with nothing but a polespear is a humbling experience. maby we should mount a laser sight on a freeshaft hawaiian sling for more accuracy and call it more sporting than with a speargun?

as for laser sights in general, I think it is un necessary for successful fish hunting, or big game hunting of any kind, for the same reasons Spaghetti, Foxfish, Oldsarge, and sickbugs have mentioned, I agree. thanks for killing some time with me on a foolish project.
