When I was in the Canaries in the early 70s, a diver came out of the water with a loaded fully pumped pneumatic (Nemrod) speargun and for some reason it went off. The tourist beach was crowded and according to the newspaper it wounded 5 and killed 1 before the spear stopped. Of course the muzzle didn't resist the piston impact and blew out as well. There was a photo of the remains of the gun in the newspaper.
