Hey guys I was given a Cressi 100 Pneumatic and I am not able to fully load it in the water. On land I can load it but it is pretty difficult. Does anyone make an easy loader anymore or do you guys know where I can get one?
Thanks.
Does anyone make a pneumatic easy load tool anymore?
-
What's an easy loader? Like a hand loader with ropes? Or is it the step on the side of the tube ?

Sounds like it's a reach issue and/or position of the stock of the gun on your body....
I shortened the shaft by a few inches on one of my guns and that was big help on loading for my arm length.
A cheap backup hand loader is a PVC Tee. you can add to it in various ways so you don't split the Tee. ( Eg. piece of wood inside etc.)
I made one out of Delrin and Brass on the fly, it's was a quick part to get by, but turned out pretty good. I'll get a picture of it in a bit.

Tossed loader on Ballcap for contrast and size reference.

usually we load the gun by holding the shaft in the right hand, gun barrel in the left hand, then we do pushing at the same time the shatf and the gun with the fin by kneeling...
do you use this basic technic or an other for loading?;)
works whatever the lenght or powerhere a small modification I did on a Cressi 100: a shooting line release...

For some of the long guns you can also hook the grip on your bent knee. Problem with this is you don't want to end up looking down the barrel as you complete the load. Looks dangerous to me and a slip at 90% of the load could be real bad.
The grip on the top side of the barrel sounds better, Just might have to do more chin-ups, if you have tooth-pick arms

Maybe you could make it yourself? I did it myself using hand tools only...
Here is how it looks like.http://spearfishing.world/spea…atic-gun-easy-loader.html

Tromic, I missed seeing that one.
You are very clever as we all know from your muzzle design work. :notworthy3:
Sent a diver your way some months ago for the muzzle. Your design was perfect for what he was asking for.

Here is a link to another simple loader. Text is in Italian but you can see a image of the loader - rope having knots:
