BluewaterRocket:"The tourist beach was crowded and according to the newspaper it wounded 5 and killed 1 before the spear stopped."
Huh?.... oh yeah, that's kinda like the time I killed a buffalo and wounded two goats and a sheep with a single shot from my son's daisy bb gun. :1poke:
If you think you're talking energy levels comparable to a bb gun you have obviously never seen a fully pumped pneumatic spear gun fired out of the water.
I used to have the Nemrod Clipper which is the shorter version of the one I saw in the newspaper. I fired it out of the water once just out of curiosity with it pumped to a fraction of its normal pressure. I fired it against a piece of wood propped against a wall. It cost me a new spear because the one I fired just curled up on itself.
The muzzle speed and energy was absurd. If it wasn't a concrete wall it would have gone through.
