That is the way to go. The slots for the different components keep changing and making the old components obsolete. I think I'm up to date with my PC, all the components are about a year old.

Rolo, about the wrestler, did you get the feeling they were milking the brotherly love between the wrestlers a little? To my understanding some of the guys in real life are cool and some are assholes. There were supposed to be real rivalries between them.

Yep, and so did I at first. I thought they were getting him to drink so they can bust him. I've never seen a breathalyzer before.

I couldn't figure out what was going on at first. Anyone recognize the language? I thought I heard the old guy say pichka which is in Serbian.

Olvídate de esa mierda y concéntrate aquí!

I go there when it's slow here to get ideas for threads. If I don't have that objective I can't spend more than 5 minutes browsing it. Le tengo rechazo a SB on so many levels.

Marco brings up a good point. Back in the days, and maybe still today in some countries, when good band guns were not readily available, good pneumatics were. A good pneumatic is better than a crappy band gun.

In Cuba mostly pneumatics are used because people can make/find the materials to make them easier than band guns. Past the handle everything else can be made by a machinist salvaging materials from the place where he works for the state. Most of the handles were very old Mares. Some handles were home made. Check out this completely home made Cuban air gun. You don't want one of these http://spearfishing.world/spea…tico-criollo-de-cuba.html

That really adds to the whole that is the movie. Now that you mention it I'm aware there were no special effects or complicated scenes involving locations and/or crowds. I like it when a movie is like that, along the lines of the first Rocky. Is there anyone who hasn't seen Rocky!? BTW I really liked the last (maybe it was second last) Rocky as opposed to some of the in between ones. Stalone really proved he can act in that film. To me good acting is evident in dramatic scenes and he convinced me.

They will fit in any footpocket. My footpockets are a clone of the Sporasub. Let me think for a little bit about the price. I will also take this time to finish my review of the DiveR blades which is not favorable.

I saw The wrestler. Good movie I recommend it. The acting was very good, indistinguishable from real life. Kudos to Rourke and everyone else in the film. It was interesting to see the behind the scenes of pro wrestling. Sad movie though.

Both are systems that eliminate water in the barrel when loading the shaft. This is supposed to translate into more power, the piston doesn't have to fight the water resistance as it pushes out the shaft. Maybe it reduces noise too.

Here's my understanding of the difference between the two but I'm not %100 sure about the Mamba. The Mamba achieves it with a special muzzle and seal that travels on the shaft. This system allows for the traditional slide ring on the shaft as place to anchor the shooting line. The Tovarich kit only uses a muzzle seal. This necessitates the shaft to be completely smooth with no piston adapter/sliding ring stopper, otherwise it would get caught in the muzzle. As such the shooting line to the spear connection needs to be made in front of the muzzle, so the shooting line is attached to a hole just back of the flopper.

2. Unless I am mistaken, some pneumatics have a high and low power selector lever which would be very useful for me shooting down into the reef and then out into open water on the same dive.

Most people don't use the power selector switch. When you pump up the pneumatic real good it gets kinda hard sometimes to shift the lever in the water with gloved hands. Many people myself included take out the power reducer block and seal the selector lever hole, this allows the gun to be pressurized more.

Just plan your shots/wait for the fish to assume a position where you're shooting parallel to the reef. Even if you shoot into the reef if you have a single flopper shaft most of the time it's no big deal. If it does get stuck real good look forward to practicing your breath hold and chipping around the shaft with your knife to get it out (it's important to have a stiff blade here). Pneumatic shafts are cheap so if you lose one no big deal. If you use the Tovarich system they're even cheaper cause you don't need a sliding ring nor a piston adapter. Shooting into a hole is always risky no matter what power setting you're using.

1.My favorite gun is a RA, which is a round barrel pipe gun similar in shape to a pneumatic.

3. Pneumatics seem to have more power to length ratio than a band gun. To say that a 110 pneumatic has as much or more shaft speed than a 130cm band gun.

First see if you can load a 110 pneumatic without a two stage loader. You may not like how long it takes to load with a two stage loader. If you use the assist bar it makes the gun more bulky.

4. If #3 is true, than a pneumatic gun equally as powerful as a band gun will be much shorter and track much faster.

Those fuckers are really nose heavy just so you know. If I have to hold one in the ready to shoot position for a long time my wrist starts to hurt. They have little flotation pads that they stick on the gun to float the front more. But this makes the gun more bulky.

5. I sight right down the gun barrel and some pneumatic guns even have sights like a shotgun.

I shoot instinctively. I understand the concept of sighting down the gun I just don't understand how you have time for it.

2. Will a big powerful pneumatic float with a RA reel and camera?

I seriously doubt it.

1. I freedive Florida reefs down to 80fsw and also shoot open water for wahoo, macks, and dorados. What most powerful pneumatic would you suggest please?

Sounds like a perfect candidate for nice long multi band wood gun.

Pneumatics are noisy guns and I prefer not to have anyone shooting them around me. The noise may not affect whether you nail the fish you're shooting at, but it will affect all the other fish in the vicinity.

The pneumatic speargun is a good tool, it works. It's all about the little things though and what you do and don't want to deal with.

Maybe you want to buy mine? At a reduced price of course having used them 3 times

Do I want a pneumatic?

No you don't because.. 1. You love your POS RA 2. http://spearfishing.world/seve…perior-to-pneumatics.html 3. You can't give Harry the satisfaction <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Try someone else's for a few dives before you buy. Actually you can get them used all over the place, check ebay. If they're not leaking there's not much that can be wrong with them. Even if they are leaking it's probably just the seals.

Beautiful! Having to see it on SB first.. despicable. Exquisite work on the handle. BTW please ask your friend to join us here, or maybe he's Luisin.

:bienvenido:

Which motherboard are you using? Didn't know they're worth repairing unless it's a broken fan bracket or something simple like that.

Not sure as to the actual quality watching it on the monitor but there is a button for HD on the player. Nice vids BTW. You're the only one here that's making vids on a regular basis.

Harry, check out the new video directory. It's a great way to post vids that will appear in the forum home page. All it does is link to your existing youtube videos. The HD ones too. Then they can be played full screen without going to youtube same as the ones in the posts. I took the liberty of posting some of the vids you already shared here in the video directory when I installed it.

I did some more work with the translations, check it out. I still have one more book that I haven't referenced and it has the tuna and bill fish. Suggestions for missing translations are welcome.
