Which pneumatic?

[QuIck ShOT]

yeah i never trust wat retailers say most of them are just out to make a profit, but every one is different so there is probly some trustworthy shops out there, i know most of the ones here try to make you pay double to wat the gun is actually worth but anyway the built in mamba kit sounds pretty decent i might have to have a look at it when its available but u should take a look at GreekDiver videos YouTube - malaka5150's Channel im pretty sure he's using an asso in them, the only thing ive noticed thats bad about it is when i shoot my mates is fairly loud but the fish never have enough time to react to it anyway its that powerful, p.s let me know if u get any info on the new omer

Hey Spaghetti, thought I might revive this post by asking you if the new Omer was featured at the "Eudi Show". I understand the show started yesterday. I'm anxiously awaiting the guns release so that I can purchase of my new gun.

the prototype has been unveiled and looks great, but the guns won't be available for purchase before november, Omer says.

Thanks Spaghetti, I used a free translator online and it looks like theey are only offering the gun from 80cm to 110cm. It has an 11mm barrel. Well November is too long to wait so I will get on with purchasing an Asso or Cressi and mamba kit.

Asso, Cressi, Mares, Sporasub, Mamba: they're all made in Italy so you can't go wrong either way!

Excellent guns, 1100 is big so a knee loader or extention loadind device is in order...can't go wrong with a cyranos!

Sure, the Cyrano is presently the finest pneumatic gun on the market.

Cheers Guys,

Yeah i took it for a dive this mornin and shot a couple of silver fin Travalley bout 65-75cm it works well but is very hard to load i got the hang of it by the end of the dive but is pretty uncomfortable around fast moving currants like where i was today diving on the reef, What is the knee loader????

[settingsteel]

It looks like a horn , attaches to the barrel, and the "horn" hooks (rests on) to your knee.

I say you feel a pneumatic to load it...a bit hard to describe but you gotta play with the shaft to find its "sweet spot", which is the part you ram in one motion, of course a good spring steel shaft is important to...the shaft the Cyranos bring are mierda

I have several pneumatics, including Soviet 'Sea Bears' and vintage Nemrods. The Cressi line has been around a long time,and is a class act. The Seac Asso is a 'knock off' copy, but you get what you pay for. The pneumatic could be what you need, since when used on the low power setting, you can spear lobsters and smaller fish,then you can instantly ramp up the power with a flick of the switch. The pneumatic is great for shooting into holes,and under ledges because there are no rubber bands to get 'nicked' by sharp outcroppings.

I have several Sea Bears, two pistols and a 103cm. I actually like the small guns, these Russian guns come in three sizes, however the smallest one and the mid size share the same power cylinder,so the shaft is very fast with virtually no recoil lift. In my initial test firing in an olympic 50 meter pool, ( freeshafting ) I noticed that at four meters of travel, the shaft, although still sustaining velocity and flat trajectory, had changed in attitude. The tail had drifted to the side, so I screwed on a different tip just to see if this effected any change --no real correction-- so it turned out to be the shortness of the shaft that contributed to the instability of the flight. I need to add a tail to this kite,so I added the slide ring and the cord shooting line,about eight feet long, and with this 'tether' imparting some drag, the shaft did not go sideways through the water! Shazam! Shazam!

Those sea bears do look cool!

Very cool guns would be ideal for crays and small fish
