Yep..Another which gun should I get, thread.

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
It is easy to order a kit for any air gun from forum member Tromic, what the kit does is stop water ingress into the barrel as happens on a standard gun. The difference is remarkable as the piston is no longer trying to push the water out at the same time as the spear.
Much faster shot and much reduced recoil, the kit I prefer required the line to be attached to the spear head rather than the tail!
PS when searching the forum try using Goggle ie dry barrel pneumatic deeper blue etc.

Roger that.
So I will need the gauge to set the pressure to a low psi?with the kit I mean.Is there danger of busting the piston having the dry barrel kit. will make that thing slam I'am tipping.What psi would you suggest ,with the kit attached?
 
You don't really need a gauge, you can use a set of bathroom scales to measure the loading effort but tbh a gauge is easier.
I have my one air and airbalete both at 24 bar which gives an extremely fast spear speed and is ok to load.
Here's some videos of my airbalete with a Tomba kit at 22.5 bar to give you an idea of the performance.

Nice footage Grant,I was shivering just watching.Similar visibility were I dive most of the year.
 

I feel the same way about my wooden guns, the only thing is they work so darn well its sacrilege just leaving them hanging on a wall.

A mid-handle really works well on longer guns because with your free hand on the butt of the gun you can use the handle as a swivel point which makes tracking fish much easier. I'm however not so sure on shorter guns... Either way, I'd love to one day add a Wong to my collection.

The wood is Teak but I don't know about cut and other woodworking details.... I just shoot them, I leave the manufacture up to the real artists

I have a collection of strat's and tele's ,all top end ,I have a scolloped fret board which is amazing for bending and string control.Problem is..I gotta start selling them to make more room in my life,The other problem is I love them all and can not decide which to sell.

Awesome! Glad you've made a decision - from everything I've heard, you won't be disappointed.

Are you ordering direct from Bleutec? If so, can you get a custom paint job?

Cheers I can't wait.I can get the custom colour but I am keen on the natural look.
I am in the process of ordering through bluetec,it's not so easy though.

No all is good.We had a minor miss understanding.I am awaiting my new gun.115 raptor in plain carbon.
Good things take a long time.
Looking into bleutec,they have really refined there guns eliminating any problems that users have.
115 is a big gun for me ,as I like them smaller but I will call it my blue water cross reef gun and use my 90cm for shore dives only,so I don't beat the hell out of my raptor.

Awesome! Glad you got it sorted mate.

Awaiting pics when it arrives!
 
I will suggest to go with Amirite carbon double roller gun that will serve your needs
 
Might have to if Bleutec want hurry up and take my money.The aimrites are near the same price but there not as good.Bleutec have a seam less, one piece mono frame with a sexy ass cuttle shape.Don't get me wrong,I really do love the AR guns,but just look at the bleutec's bad ass guns,there sic.I am not just buying a toy,I am buying art work at the same time .I love how bluetec and AR have flat handles for ease of aiming.
