What shaft diameter do you use and why?
For those too lazy to convert:
5/16" = 8mm
9/32" = 7mm

Yo uso 6mm-15/64'', 6,5mm-1/4'', 6,75mm-17/64'', 7mm-9/32'' y 7,5mm/19/64'' http://www.stefanelli.eng.br/e…lcular/#swiffycontainer_1
Razón de uso:
a) 6mm, 6,5m y 7,5mm son las originales del fusil euro cuando lo compré.
b) 6,5mm y 6,75mm lo más cercano a 7mm que logré conseguir en mi mercado local.
Las flechas 6mm, 6,5mm y 6,75mm doblan con facilidad con golpes a rocas y peces de -+ 10kg, algún día terminaré fabricando un gancho para pulpos con ellas.
Para mi pesca sería ideal 7mm - 8mm.

Si, por eso la comparto, es buena herramienta interactiva online, lo mejor es que la formula está a la vista para validar el resultado.
I use mostly 7 mm as for me is a good compromise of weight and speed. Additionally, most spearguns come balanced for 7 mm. It is a PITA to carry a gun that is not well balanced.
Less that that is not for our fish and 8 mm or more has its uses with big fish or bluewater, but not my day-to-day spearfishing.
10mm for tuna/ marlins
8mm for reef fish and other blue water fish
7mm for pneumatic gun (in the Med Sea)
8mm+ for Pelagics/ GT
7.5 for most open track reef guns
7 for enclosed track reef guns
For the reef guns I find a shorter 7.5 seems to balance well on pipe guns, rollers, and open track wood guns. The 7mm shafts on enclosed reef guns are a bit longer, and seem to shoot a bit faster out of an enclosed track, both generally have enough mass to penetrate most reef fish in HI.
I reserve 8mm shafts for Ulua/GT because they have less tendency to bend (still bend if shot is shit) and more mass to push through thick bodied and skulled fish.
8mm+ for pelagics for the extra mass resulting in more penetration even at longer ranges, and more stabilization using heavy bands.
