Update;

The co2 bottles that I used on my last trip were filled at a local big chain sporting goods store, and were not filled correctly. I have since had them filled by a competent person, and the change in velocity is significant. I have had some old 5/16 shafts re threaded for use in this gun, but I think that the 10mm may be needed now that I am shooting correctly loaded co2 bottles. At $85, the shafts are not cheap, but I think they would be very difficult to destroy given the diameter and material.

Plan on spearing an area that we have named "Jurassic Park" this weekend (Sunday) fully intend to try it out on some big surfboard size AJ'S and Lemonfish

Hi Keith,
Why 10mm for the spear?? On fish < 50 Kgs action most important and necessary is the "inhibition" the knock give you 75% more to catch very big fish in best conditions, first one shorten its dead…and prevent loss
Why to put a small motor in a Ferrari :laughing:

Hi Maco, thank you for the background history, I welcome you as a spearfishmen. Here in the US I am a member
of IUSA, USOA, and also spearfish in Tahiti and Mexico..... I can be Catholic, Protestant or Jewish, but only spearfish with muscle powered guns. If your gun could use air from a tank that was hand pumped It would be
more like a pneumatic. ;):D
I am the proud owner of 6 Co2 guns but they are 60 years old.;)

Cheers, Don

Hi Don,
did you tried to pump a tank 0,5 litre at 150 bars??? You need muscle trust me
Each people can choose his solution or trust :cool2:
Thanks,
Maco

I'm a new member by necessity, some people know me on this forum, I'm the Maco2's manufacturer, it is not my habit to participate on forums, but sometime I saw some informations wrong :confused1: and so, I would like to explicate the situation. I worked on this project by passion, I'm a old spear diver my chance was to hunt in Africa with a Pelletier during many years. Few years ago, I decided to make reborn this fabulous speargun It is not my job, but I created "Maco2" like I said with passion and after a big work and 4 years, I tested the prototype in Guinea, it was in 2008. Today, I'm a very small manufacturer and I work on request, my clients are around the world, I never said I'm the best, but each feedback are for me a very big satisfaction. May be you don't like Air or Co2 system, it is not a problem… the choice in spearguns is the same like a religion and the most important for the spear diver is not his choice of the speargun but his possibility to go down in the blue with it and take some pleasure I don't want to become rich, money is not important, I try to communicate with all persons this passion for the sea and the spear diving and if I brought this action, it's my achievement :thumbsup2:
