I was swimming in a river when I discovered that RP-2 pneumatic gun would not load because some sand got into it. So I decided to pass that gun to the pal, former fighter pilot, who was fishing on shore. I told him the gun broke down and warned him sternly to put it back into my bag and not try to touch it. What did the guy do? Well, he was drnking and he was bored - so he decided to repair it - the first thing he did was try to fire it unloaded - and the he screamed to me - the gun is working so I swam back to find that the plastic part of the cylinder piping (bucket?) rammed through the conical muzzle because of that. I gave him hell and told him he had almost ruined the gun which now needs serious repairs and pleaded to put it back into the bag. But then he screamed again - it turned out he decided to continue repairs - so he started to unscrew the muzzle and it fired into the river because of the remaining air pressure.
But even that was not the end of the story! I speared a few roachfish with the spear of that gun and passed it on to him asking him to throw them up the bank so they would not jump back into water. When I swam back - there was no fish nor the pal. It turned out that he placed the fish right on the bank and it jumped back into water so he called it a day and fled before I found out.
I also had the same gun fired off accidentally out of the water - I was putting line on the line holder/releaser and it is designed in such a defective way that it is connected to the trigger so that if pulled - it pulls the trigger and fires the shaft -
it happened to me but lickily the shaft hit a stone outside the water, before the line stretched and bounced back

...As I said in another thread spear alone don't bring a buddy with you ...
