Cunning I reckon.

If I remember, there is a very expensive greek eruo speargun (must be Trygons, or may Bleutech) designed from a similar concept of water ballast. But I confess I've always been skeptical.
And I tell you why:
Years ago I had my old Sporasub Viper whose barrell was leaking (but that was due to a defective gasket, not to cunning design
). I used it a couple of times before I fixed it, but what I remember well is that flooded Viper felt so heavy to handle and hard to swing...
