pathos 82 - great gun?

[Xaos_22]

Hello everybody!!!!

I'm using this gun for over a year and it's great!!!!
BUT... The bands belong to the trushcan. Test it with Practisub Gold 18 mm bands 24 cm long or 22 cm if you want it more powerfull. Or try 18mm Omer latex slings 22 cm long.

The web-site of Pathos is not ready yet. It is a new company. And it is Greek!!!!!

I guess you have the first Pathos... The handle is black-white or just black???
Does it have a rail?

The first generation of Pathos had black and white handle, the second black handle and the third had a rail all across the tube. The third generation of Pathos has tube with 1mm thickness.

Do you need anything else?????????

If it shoots in a different direction, the problem is with your line which is attached to the shaft.

Where are you from, Hasha????
How much did you pay for the Pathos???
Here, in Greece the third generation costs about 108 euros and the second about 86 euros.

Chech it out on http://www.diveandfish.gr/en/index.html

You can also chech for the bands I wrote about.

Hasha,

I have used Shorter bands on a 110

For an 82 gun you should be using 22cm bands.

If they are thick 20mm like G20 24cm might also be good.

Your lack of shaft speed is due to this. If this is the only problem dont blame the gun as a lot of ppl change the standard bands the day they buy a new gun.

Some manufacturers dont even sell the guns with bands for the same reason.

Get some shorter rubbers and let us know.

Thank you everyone!
I have shorter bands of Jb Esclapez and will try the gun with these (+ quality shaft lines).
My pathos is all black and I paid 100 Euros for it in Turkey.
It doesn't have a rail all along the gun. There r Two small shaft guides on the handle side and 1 just before the head.

So we have exactly the same gun!!!!
But, mine is 83 cm long. It was 100 cm when I bought it. 6 months later I got 2 carbon spearguns ( Sporasub Instinct & Imerssion Triaxxx) in this length, so I cut the tube and made it 83 cm long.

Let us know when you change the set-up of your speargun, and if it's better.

I also cut the 2 small rails which come just after the handle. But the piece to attach the line is still there. The reason is these rails were 0,8mm higher than the rails in the handle. Now the shaft slides like butter.

[hasha]

There are some parts in the trigger mechanism which makes most of the noise. I have just placed some spongy materials on them. Now the gun is silent like dead.

[Xaos_22]

Where exactly did you put the spongy materials???? Is it possible to send a foto???
What about safety? Is it safe???

I never had noise problems with my own gun.

[hasha]

when the gun releases the shaft, the metal part of the trigger mechanism hits the plastic body and makes some noise. I glued a spongy plastic to the left side of this metal part so it is pressed by this spaonge . When you open the gun handle it is the only big metal part you will see. ALso I glued another plastic to the point where the released trigger hits the same metal part.
NOw when I pull the trigger I hear nothing. Also under water I like it that way. If you have time give it a try.

[Xaos_22]

I also tried a few days ago the new tube from Pathos.

It is excellent!!!! It has a shaft all along the tube made by the same material the tube is made and it is "one" body with the tube.

I put on a handle from the TRIAXXX Imersion handle and head with a pair o megabooster . It is EXCELLENT!!!!

The gun is 100 cm long and for big groupers and jacks is very good!!!
But only for mediterranean spearfishing!!!

I just have see the new pathos ( Open & OPEN PRO) in Greece
Its a exelent gun. I am thinking to order one 100 Open but I will change the Bands to 2 16mm Gorilla and the spear to a Devoto 6,5

General th only think that I have hear from some firends is that the Pathos reel is ont the best and that its easy to lose SHARKS on the pathos Open Pro original Spear

Is the barrel 100% carbon? At very first glance looks like the c4 monoscocca. Did you get to 'manhandle' the gun Shane? First impressions?
