I couldn't find a topic about carabiners! Sorry! I'll throw it here! Automatic carabiner for a harpoon line! Activated by pressing the front and rear bushings simultaneously!

Automatic carabiner for a harpoon line!
- Thread starterZahar
- Start date
This type of snap hook is unreliable and inconvenient to use with winter gloves! The spear line can get tangled and come off this snap hook when the fish is in agony! Only beginners use it here!
I got it... it could be simpler but without a locking mechanism, or a different design...
Maybe similar to this:

This is so called "Pig tail" clip. I made it from a piece of stainless scrap spring in 20 min.

Tromik! The main criterion when choosing a carbine is the hunting conditions! The carbine should not break or open when passing through the body of a fish or other obstacle pierced by a harpoon! The carbine should be comfortable to work with in thick winter gloves! None of the carbines you presented meet these conditions! That is why I created my Automatic Carbine!
Zahar, I am sure you put a lot of effort and time into the design of your carabiner. I know it because it is hard work, even though it doesn't look like it when it's all done. The version made by ESK? is different, I think it's simpler in design (to me) than yours. Both are very good. I didn't know that you use the carabiner right behind the spear so that it goes through the fish. Some spearos use the "Pig tail" clips to conect the baunge to the line conecting the spear. It can hold about 40 kg and is pretty secure and easy to operate.

Automatic carabiner for harpoon daineme!
The principle of action is a locked whisper. Spring - silicone hose. The carabiner opens only when the front and rear movable bushings are pressed together.

Yes Tromik! I have improved my Automatic Carbine in the direction of simplification of manufacture and reliability! In our underwater hunting there are often cases when the harpoon gets stuck in branches and logs under water and the fish moves on a line through the carbine, which passes through the wound hole in the fish! The requirements for such a carbine are very high! As for the ESC runner, I combined Sergey's development with the holes for the spring shock absorption of Alexander Migachev (Mechanics)! My merit here is not enough!Zahar, I am sure you put a lot of effort and time into the design of your carabiner.

Both Automatic Carabines have very interesting design! Well done!
The only problem I see is that this type of carabiner placed behind the arrow greatly reduces the range, has high hydrodynamic resistance, so it is only good for short shooting distances.

The carbine does not affect the lethal range, which for pneumatic guns is 4 - 5 gun lengths! This length is wound on the gun before the carbine!
