Interesting idea. Never heard of this before -- is there an example product or project on the web that we could take a look at. Is the idea to use a mid-handle mech but in a back handle format? I think Wong might offer an option like that, the "rear-plus": Daryl Wong's Legendary Spearguns - Custom Built in Hawaii

What's the point of an enclosed track? I can't see the need for it but I can foresee potential problems (insufficiently straight spear, blocked barrel, special finned spear needed, wear/corrosion/friction, jammed spear, spear-line routing, building complexity/cost,...). I'm sure there are answers & ways to eleviate the problems -- but what is the gain to justify it?

BTW how about including one of those barrel magnets Foxfish reported on (used by Riffe?).
