btw this gun has a 115cm spear. it feels to long bt aparently 75cm guns always take 115cm spears.

A 75 cm speargun is 75 cm front tube length. Overall it will definitely be longer, ususally a little longer than the length of the shaft. The shaft on your gun is probably 115 cm (standard 40 cm overhang). Overall length is that length, plus whatever distance it is from the back of the spear, when in the mechanism, to the back of the gun.

ok so i do have a 75cm gun but it seems a little long, is this size ok for fishing around rocks.

A 75 is the minimum size recommended for English spearfishing any shorter & the gun will not have enough power.
As pointed out band guns are measured from band attachment to trigger mech.
Air guns however are measured from overall length so a 75 airgun will have a total length of 75!
