Great looking gun!
The power of a 120mm+, but with the visibility requirements and agility of a 60!
If you get a shaft with a "helper tab" 3/4 of the way up the shaft, you can use it for hole hunting!

AKA helper tab.
It's another shark fin that is closer to the front of the shaft for easier, multi-staged loading.
Might be really useful on a roller gun... Just have to make sure that the fins near the butt of the shaft don't impede the shaft by getting hung up on the wishbone.
It will help in loading up fully... And can help to de-power the gun for a hole shot into a cave / on rocks.

Took the new gun out on the weekend, and was a success. Few minor hiccups though. The bungee sometimes get snagged up on the bottom portion of the rubber so I think I'll have to re route my shooting line somehow.
The gun is balanced pretty well, although it's a bit large around the bore to hold on to when swimming / not holding onto the handle. So I'd like to trim it up a bit. If I do trim it it's only going to get heavier in the water though. What does everyone use to add buoyancy besides more timber ?

As long as the spear shoots out straight, you're good. Normally the muzzle lifts, not descends haha. Well done

Only 300% ? Wow. What is the barrel length (from trigger to rollers)? And have you tested what ranhe you're shooting?

First fin to roller is 970 on top then roller to tab on bottom Is 600. So all up 1570. Rubbers are 490mm cut.
It's got 2 wraps and then back to the mech for a breakaway so approx 5 - 6 meters. There's no fall off at all that I can tell. There wasn't too many fish around so I was lining up other things in the water hard to tell

How exactly did you get the bamd stretch? 49cm band length for 97cm would be over 380%

I wont argue with you but thats not how you would calculate band length on a roller. Alemanni & Seawulf told me to measure from tab to rollers which in your case is 97cm. So 97cm × 2 then divide by 3 (300%). Then pre stretch the bands at the bottom by 5%. Then have tabs for your desired stretch. 340% 360% etc. Im also adding a tab close to the rollers at the bottom for easy loading at the top. So its pretty much load top, load bottom
