doesn't look like google has heard about it yet.
although roller guns in general look fairly cool.

never heard before, Foxfish. This sound strange, because I know there's a big problem with patents about industrializing rollerguns.
Seatec started producing rollers some three of four years ago, and they were said to be awesome guns. But they discontinued the series after a few months. Initially they said they just wanted to improve the gun and fix some defective details, but recently Seatec declared that the problem was legal: somebody (don't know who) holds a strongly detailed patent which prevents any factory to make rollerguns.
However, take this with a grain of salt: it's not a thing I know of my own, but just second hand information I had from Seatec's director.

taked to the beuchat folks at dema, didn;t hear anything from them. the 125cm Marlin carbon is rather sweet though....
Hmmm typically I cant find what I was looking for but did find this - Mediterranean Fishing :: Log in
They have longer bands which stretch under the barrel around rollers. This gives a much longer band pull, the whole length of the barrel, so a 60cm gun will have the power of say am 85cm gun. Also the because the band pull is both over and under the barrel, its flexing is much much less.
