What do you mean by too powerful?

The Aqua/Gull super bullet is a $60 snorkel.

Might as well make the most of it

Great info. Did the glued parts hold?
I know the company that makes them showed Freedom 7 to be out of stock for the last month, someone is buying them.
The Shark Shield Freedom7 is available here in Fort Lauderdale from Spearfishing Store - Shark Shield Freedom7

Best of reasons indeed.

Good to see you back, and sharing your catch. From what I've seen the last few months many guys found their way back to spearfishing. Not saying you weren't active in the last few years, I don't know, but many weren't. I believe the strange times we're passing now have made many slow down, get their head out of the rat race, and remember the truly good things in life like diving.

Curious to see how the synthetic rubber/glue/epoxy/carbon bond holds together over time. That's a lot of resistance pushing that long whip around.

Can't rely on the shamrock alone Nice rigging. I hope you don't need it.
The Sharkshield is supposed to be the only shark deterrent that actually works. I laugh when I hear about the useless magnetic bracelets people are buying.
I always carry two of these power heads. They work %100, but granted only if you see the shark first.

An interesting video, thanks. More accurately captures the ups and downs of bluewater spearfishing.

Square shafts why not

Some things to consider with guns you mentioned in your first post.
Rob Allen normally doesn't have a loading butt, I find this uncomfortable. I feel like the gun can slip down into my groin under pressure.
Riffe euro has a small handle which I feel doesn't offer enough control over the gun when tracking. Also the stock being wide in the horizontal plane, with the added width of the stretched bands, makes it hard to grip the gun in the middle, that's where I hold while swimming.
Pathos D'angelo 2 handle used to have a horrible sharp profile grip that would really dig into your chest when loading. I don't know if it's still like that.
The Salvimar Voodoo has it's own issues you can read a review here Salvimar Voodoo V-Pro and Vuoto speargun review
As you can see each of those guns has drawbacks. Could I use all of them successfully? Sure. Would I choose them if I had other options? Absolutely not. One bad detail about a gun makes me think WTF did they do that. The gun is a tool and you want your tool to work in an optimal way for you. Small poorly thought out details amount to unnecessary inconvenience. I don't want to deal with that.
You mentioned JBL, I hope you meant the newer wood series because everything else is crap. The newer wood series is pretty good. The trigger mech requires too much force to engage the shaft in the mechanism. The handle angle/rake is not ideal.
The Riffe C3 is a good gun except for the handle which is ancient and not ergonomic. One of its good features is a deep track.

Isn't 115cm speargun long for Russian rivers? I'm guessing you're going on a spearfishing vacation to nice clear water.
What spearguns are available in dive stores in Russia?
-
Speardiver Phantom speargun accurate, strong and durable. All steel trigger mechanism, loading butt, choice of configuration (bands and shaft), ergonomic handle for good leverage when tracking, great price point.
-
True the camera is better on the mask, for a few reasons.
-
Looks good. Think the paint will stay on?
I would do a bungee through the hole in the handle to secure it in the sheath.
-
Ha I just remembered while I was down there grabbing the gun I saw the lobsters in the hole and was pointing to them signaling to you. Did you catch that at the time? Because looking at the video even I had a hard time figuring out what I was doing at that moment.

Alan The forum has now been upgraded and includes the feature of resizing pics for you on the fly. You can upload straight from your phone. Go ahead and try it again, lets see those lobster pics.
