Handicraft Italian Speargun

[spazio]

hi all!

an expert spearo friend of mine here in italy makes his own spearguns with excellent results.

in occasion of the national meeting of the bluworld spear association he's shown his new gun who was much appreciated by everybody, including also mazzarri and blu world team, who wrote on the pesca sub magazine (december 2006 page 66) what follows: <<..... Il fucile Spartaco 115 doppia gomma costruito da Mauro Pacchione che ha fornito una penetrazione
dell'asta nel bersaglio leggermente superiore a quella del Mr Carbon 94...>> which means: "....... the spartaco 115 double band speargun made by mauro pacchione has resulted in having a slightly deeper penetration in the target than c4 mr carbon 94...."

it's a wood very carefully handicraft made speargun.

if someone could be interested, I enlcose few pics (much more detailed ones I can send through email).
it's got an excellent relationship between price and quality.

it's been obviously tested in a swimmingpool.

very detailed pics under request per email.





all the best

emidio, italy

Hi my friend.

Why dont you post the pics here in the forum.

I for sure would like to see this 'fantastic' speargun, but on the other hand i know i cannot afford it. So if i emailed you asking for many photos (so that i buy one if i like it) i would be 'lying' to you.


It would be nice to see photos of the speargun and description of manufacture process - trigger mechanism- ballast - rubbers-spear setup etc.


I hope we get to see many photos of the speargun you talk about !!!


Thanks,

George

no problem. I wanted to send them directly to the email address because you could see every single detail in pics of 1Mb or more.
I cannot do it in the forum.
I'll organize everything in a few days and post also something to the forum and the rest to whom wants to receive them via email.
bye emidio

I'm also enclosing these reviews of pesca sub & apnea, the most famous italian magazine for spearfishing.

the first one talks about a national meeting with the world champions mazzarri and molteni who won also the latest champions league in greece

among other, c4 was there and many guns were tested in the swimming pool

c4 mr carbon and monoscocca resulted to be the best ones, in terms of precision and power, except for the spartacus 115

I was abroad and couldn't take part to this meeting but my friends explained to me that when the spartacus 115 arrived about 30 cm after the mr carbon of the same lenght, a complete silence fell down among the people there

mazzarri asked to my friend which shaft were used, thinking it was a very tiny one but it was the same of the other guns

it's been a great satisfaction for this friend, and also the magazine published this story

they wrote that the mr carbon was a shorter one but it doesn't matter, as this is understanble, considering that c4 is the main sponsor of this magazine and of the forum

anyhow it was a great satisfaction!

this is the magazine of december 2006

these are the two pages of the review

I use to call my friend a little "archimedes", as, apart from his guns, in his laboratory he often invent something of original and very useful

I was saying that to steven days ago....

in the magazine of january 2007 another review has been published in the section called "archimedes' corner"... it seems I'm not the only one to think in this way ... )
