I would like a gun that is as small as possible but will shoot further then either of these so I could use it here and also for trips to the ocean where I would like to fish in open water. I am 6'1"

K, your height is really good. Loading will be easier for you. Im 5'11 but i workout a lot. Now, aiming with the mamba takes practice. I assure you its a pretty straight shot. Aiming with bandgun is far easier. Since the water is so clear, i would get a 115cm asso with mamba to shoot a 7mm shaft( 130cm long shaft) with mares handle. You can kill anything this gun. When i hit a small fish, it ends up on the mono. You will be shocked how quick the spear is released. If you want a shorter gun, you can buy a 100cm Sten or 90cm asso and put a mamba kit on that. I would go for a 115cm since the water is really clear. Oh yeah, adding a mamba to an airgun extends it about 5cm
I would say the mamba will shoot about twice as hard as your bandgun with a whole lot less recoil.
