Picked up the new weapon this morning. From a competition advertised in a magazine and was stoked to find out I'd won!!!
It's a Mares phantom carbon 75 (worth $220) and can't wait to put it through its paces! The 19mm power band it comes with is bloody strong !!

Very nice mate and well done on the win I'm still waiting to use my old gun in anger

A few of years ago I gave my neighbour my old Undersee "Bazooka" double rubber wooden speargun. He wanted to pay me but I refused as I was never going to use it again. Jeez I've shot some fish with that gun! About a year after that he had an aneurism and suddenly died! Mid twenties, married with 2 kids....bloody shame!

At one stage I had an Italian pneumatic gun. It cost heaps and was about 5' long. Bloody thing almost pulled out of my hand when I fired it and the spear hit the end of the cord. It had a lever at the back that increased power by 33% but I never needed that. Cost me a fortune!

Spearfishing! Sigh, they were the days~

nice! it should be great for flathead and night dives. 19mm is thick for such a little gun! i wonder why so much power for it? I have 16mm on all my guns, one with double 16's quite happy with the lower power of them and easy to load.

Yeah I agree, they're damn strong. Might need to use twin bands of a smaller diameter
