hi monchan,
the gun is quite easy to load, the boongie loops around the rubbers and you just simply pull it through (the line) and place the spear back in the shaft and weave the line around the head of the gun take about 50secs when ur use to it, the range is very good but i have not placed a reel on the gun although i have the marlin reel i just use the 3m of line on the gun, the accuracy is very good i only ever take 4 fish in 1 trip and most times i will only miss one shoot as for tracking it can become a little heavy on the hand after a while even more so with a strong under current whipping past so i always have my left hand in the middle of the gun on a flat day its heaven but when its whipping in a bit it can be quite hard on the hand this i guess is due to shape with it having the rail running along the gun most times when the tide is strong i will load the gun when i get to the point i intend to dive as for silence it is very good nothing bangs around on the gun but you do get the normal break of noise when you fire as with any gun,
it does have spare ring on the muzzel for another 18mm band if your cazy enough to do it but here in the uk the 1 is fine but ive never shot a fish greater than 6 1/2lb and dont really want to, the spear its self is very strong i believe its a 7mm rock tipped spear that comes with the gun and i would recomend taking a file to the tip before you go out for the first time.

hope this helps monchan
good luck,
p.s. Dont just go by what i and other people say shop around for the right gun for you.
