Ditto. Some of those guns look like they'd create a stir if introduced today. What a
brilliant website. Those ultra-thin one look trick (and I thought my recent Omer XXV purchase was skinny) - powered by compressed carbon dioxide? Absolutely love the "Addict Gun 01 by Paul Herrin"
- is that a built in fish-subdueing drogue/parachute?! Extinguisher guns?!
I find it humbling to see some of the ingenuity included in the old spearguns and old bikes, motorbikes & cars. So much thought and creativity has already gone into them. You see things that were decades ahead of the market & sometimes are more advanced that modern products but, perhaps, still impractical for commercial use. The movie Tucker gives me a similar humbling feeling.
[Foxfish, any chance of getting a picture of your old gun onto that site? Portland Oceaneering have some interesting old guns on the wall - although not as weird & wonderful.]
