Pelaj railguns

Tono, the only thing that has deterred me in the past was the cost, what makes them different or better than a traditional, bare, pipegun like a rob Allen? Thanks

I own a 150cm Kanji and find it to be a really well made gun. It is a little long for my liking but the reason I have it is because the price I got it for. The barrel has internal ribs that run lenghtwise making it resist flex when loaded, the rail also features mini ridges that run lenghtwise and reduce the contact area between the rail and the shaft and its suppossed to have less friction. The coating on the aluminum barrel is excellent and resist hits and scrapes very well and compared to other coatings I've seen on barrels like anodizing or regular powdercoating this one seems to be a little thicker. The stock handle could be a little big for people with small hands but it's perfect for me. Also some people would like to have more of an angle on the grip, something that the makers tried to solve with a new handle grip but I do not have it so I cannot comment on it. Things that I don't like is that there is not much space inside the mech for thicker mono with the stock shaft (8mm), that megatex rubber that comes stock has a nice smooth stretch to it but it's not very durable, bungie is made with same rubber and didn't last long but I find most bungies to be the same way with the exception of Riffe's and Rob Allen's and now trying Mako'sto see how much they hold. Shaft is like any other spring steel shaft with tri-cut tip and notches. The price for this gun was around $595 and while very well made I feel it was too much for a railgun. Now that they have come way down in price, around 260-300 I feel that it's a good gun to consider purchasing. It shoots very accurately out of the box but like any railgun you can fine tune it to your liking. I considered cutting mine down to 130cm if I cannot find a shaft for it with a rest tab and shark fins so I can put the mono on the fin and out of the mech, or a thinner (7.5) shaft. Also Kanjis were made to up to170cm making them one of the longest railguns available. Pelaj's Nemesis are also made with the same features of the Kanjis but with different muzzle (closed) and Specters have different cammo color on the barrel and a lower price.

$600 is too much for a railgun.

Way too much. But those are some cool features. The internal ribs are a great idea on a 130+ cm pipegun. Not sure if the rail grooves do anything but it sounds cool too

I really like their Double Tap muzzle.

They tried to sell the pelaj line here in America and it failed miserably. I remember the cost being a huge issue.

My friend owned one and he said it was heavy in the water and when the gun was loaded, there was a significant flex in barrel. He put a ruler on the barrel while gun was loaded and could see the barrel bending. Now these are his conclusions, not mine. He has used quite a few spearguns so I trust his opinion. My 2 cents.

harry, do you kn0w if there are different lines of these guns? perhaps one with the reinforced barrell and one without...your friend's experience seems both unacceptable and suprising given the comments about the construction.

i'd like to hold one and see how they feel in the hand...although I have been lucky enough to have had no isssues with my RA's and have never found them lacking for my needs
