    Gday nishthefish,


    And yer thats me and my mate in that clip above. I am not the one who shot the fish. haha
    Az still uses that roller and I guess thats some proof that they do work, although theres a lot up to personal preference with them.


    Will keep you updated as the project I am doing develops.


    Cheers, safe diving mate

    Gday guys,
    I am in my last year of a mechanical engineering degree in Brisbane and have been lucky enough to be doing a years worth of research on the 'Design and Optimisation of a Speargun' with the aim to make a gun or two with all features optimised by the end of the year.


    Has anyone published similar reports? There doesn't seem to be much out there for literature review other than forum discussions.


    I will be getting stuck into theory calculations comparing roller guns/traditional guns as well as a lot of testing and comparisons of different components. Very excited about the project and if anyone wants to discuss the mechanical advantages of different designs I am more than happy to brainstorm.


    Cheers and safe diving to all.
