hi guys,

i am still new to the sport of spearfishing and was hoping to get some feedback about my new gun.. I initially started with a 50 cm beuchat guns shooting little reef fish like morwongs and ludies. i did feel the lack of power when using one such gun as well as the spear not being able to penetrate properly.. anyway recently i decided to get the beuchat mundial speargun (90cm).. i am slowly hoping to upgrade the gun as i improve with my freediving. i was wondering what are my possibilities of hitting bigger fish with a 90 cm gun. what range / species of fish would i be able to shoot at with a 90 cm gun? can you shooot a smaller sized kingfish with a 90 cm gun? also could you share any experiences with shooting decent sized fish with a 90 cm gun or less..? i currently live in sydney area .. your suggestions and feedback will be awesome..
 
I normally use my 90 cm gun when the visibility is less than 5 meters shooting fish at a distance up to about 3 meters. I believe that you would prefer a longer gun if the visibility is better and you target pelagic fish at greater distances.

I believe that the visibility, the type of fish and the distance to it is more important factors when choosing the gun length than the actual size of the fish.
