So i am looking at building this speargun and i was wondering if anyone could help me out with some design changes that could be made or even with tips that i could use whilst making the gun. it is going to be overall 1200mm long with the barrel length of 1000mm. it will be 45mm wide by 50mm deep. hopefully i am going to power it with two 16mm rubbers but am yet to find out all the details. So if you can help a newbie like me in anyway i would greatly appreciate it.

Looks very similar to a design that I am almost finished with. I think the profile with the taper is just about the same as well. So far the design looks very nice. This gun only has a 90cm barrel length and about 110cm over all length.
Id say your on the right track.
Where in NZ are you? My wife and I are planning an extended vacation down there next January. We plan on being there for at least 3 months but could end up staying as long as 6. You live in a beautiful country.

after looking at your plans a little more I would suggest maybe making less of a taper so that you have room to put the bands at the end of the gun. With the band slot so far back your wasting all the extra length that size gun would have to offer. Or you might try something like this so that you can make that extrem of a taper though I think you may end up getting a little flex.
This is not my gun but its another idea for you. This was a thread off of Spearboard

I might also suggest that you recess the top of the handle into the wood if possible. That way, the force of the recoil is carried in part by the top of the handle frame, and not just the screws.
thanks for all the helpfull info. here is another picture of the plan that i have just changed with regards to the taper. on the proper gun i will laminate the handle into it to make it stronger. i also need help on deciding weather to make the gun have two bands or just the one? Thanks.
