In the 80s the Sporasub Viper was one of the most popular arbaletes in the Med. Designed by Hugues Dessault. First eurogun with full-length rail ...
However, for my taste it has always been a bit too (nose) heavy even with the green (Viper) or yellow (Viper elite) buoyancy control piece and - as mentioned above - out of the box it was leaking like the Titanic.
Furthermore, the plastic used for the handle, head, grooved sheath and accessories (reel, reel attachment) could have been appropriate for manufacturing toys not so much for making spearfishing equipment.
Cheers
P.S. One final piece of advice: do NOT use very short, strong or double bands on a Viper.
