State-of-the-Art mass produced Euro-speargun?

[Mr. X]

I struck me some years ago that (Italian Company?) C4 had probably taken speargun design just about as far it could go at the time: beautiful looking, radically hydrodynamic in shape, all carbon fibre & stainless steel - although rather exotic & - understandably at the time - expensive.

So I am wondering, what is the state-of-the-art for spearguns now and how close have manufacturers come to realizing the promise of the C4 spearguns in less expensive, mass produced spearguns?

Actually, looks like C4 have managed to take things a little further since - now even more extreme:

Brilliant!

Surprised Miles continued to use mainly Rabitech railguns, despite owning a C4. Didn't Magpie get a C4 too?

Seen this in Deep ww http://www.infinitengines.com looks a bit out there

I'd say that the closest thing to a mass produced, high-end carbon speargun would be the Sporasub SK40 - it looks stunning - would I buy one? Absolutely not - that lovely, shiny carbon is just going to get scratched and scraped and lets be honest, apart from looking cool, carbon provides no real benefit over Aluminium.

Give me a nice, bulletproof aluminium gun, ideally with a lovely reverse trigger mechanism like a Pathos.

it is better

The C4 guns look amazing, a combination of high mass & fast tracking!
Some of the models had the facility to take on water to give the perfect balance, I don't know about those?

very nice balans without recoil and precise up to 7m

Are these just pretty pictures or are there actual working guns out there?

No, not a working gun, there is already a discussion elsewhere on the forum....
