I picked one of these up from Dan a few months ago but wasn't really able to get into the water with it until recently. I was very impressed with the gun out of the water. Everything about its construction is exactly what I would want in a railgun. A clean simple muzzle thats easy to wrap, high quality bands, beautiful glossy carbon tube with a nice integrated track, a handle I really like holding, a precise trigger mechanism, and a simple safety thats easy to know is OFF.
I finally got to take it out on saturday and put it to the real test and wasn't disappointed. It performed amazingly well.
It wasn't too hard to load or uncomfortable despite not having a butt and having the last loading tab almost at the complete end of the gun. Being used to a butt I did find having absolutely no obstruction between the spear and my eye helped my aiming tremendously.
Its got a great shot, with the bands Dan had on it the shot was nice and smooth, but it still has tons of power. And I love that for its size, its got more band stretch then any other gun I've shot.
Above other guns the thing I really liked most about it was the trigger mech handle and line release. The handle fits my hand better then most other guns I've shot. And the trigger reminds me more of my glock then of a speargun. The line release is of a type I didn't even know I loved until I got this gun. The pin is much easier to get the shooting line onto, especially wearing thicker gloves. And the rearward placement of the pin provides an additional 8 or so inches of shooting line then other guns of the same size.
It being made of sexy carbon-fiber that glistens in the ocean is also a plus :cool2: I hope to shoot the crap out of it soon, but so far I couldn't be happier with it.
