a few other reasons why pneumatics rule! <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">
Sorry i coudln't resist! <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Watched it again, very good. From the last pic you can see that all fish were taken on one hunt no? I gotta know what the vis was like in the miveo vid, it looks like 25?
Yes the keys video was 1 day. The vimeo video was 2 days. It was about 25ft maybe more. It was more clear when i went past 50ft.
Oto,
Are you back in action!?
Dan,
Vis was good that day but keys had much better vis.
Hau,
The camera i think might float by itself or sink very slowly.
Would love to do that but my time is limited. And if i have free time, i want to spend it spearfishing.
Check out this video of the new denton 110 by Abellan. It fires a 7.5mm shaft with 2 18mm bands stretched to 350% with very little recoil and muzzle lift.
You specified small pneumatics but I think that all pneumatics are not faster to load than a band gun as is evident in your video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcDk5LqjVlY <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> Especially if you factor in the time of taking out the loader from wherever your have it stashed and then replacing it.
It is also interesting to note that pneumatics have the potential of firing as you're loading them, this is not possible with band guns. Also the shaft release mechanism on a pneumatic is less secure than a wood gun with a stainless steel mech. It's much more sensitive and can release if the gun sustains an impact. Wear on the pneumatic release mech is not evident unless you take apart the gun.
I load the small pneumatic without a loader or if i really pump it up with a loader thats connected to my wrist. I just grab it and ram it down the barrel and let the line hang since its a close range gun. Trust me its way faster. No contest.

The pneumatic looks pretty good doesn't it 
grouper is a jewfish. Kris picked the song. My camera records in 720p

Here is a video with Kris (ApneaSpearo) and Davie (SeaWeed) catching some lobster. I am running the gun cam. Enjoy!
are you guys adding any wood or floatation to lessen the lean to one side?
I prefer wooden guns if i go bandgun. Rob allens are nice but they are so heavy in the water for me. I am spoiled since my pneumatic is super light. A wooden gun shoots great with less recoil and can be properly balanced to your liking. You can also pack it with heavy bands to get that powerful shot.
Some people dont care about how heavy a gun is in the water and how much recoil it has. I do. Its just personal preference.
Just enough for the flopper to close and maybe a little more.
I have an old omer skorpian pneumatic. its really a piece of shit. It doesnt even float without spear in it. Either way, i have it setup for grouper holed up. It will work perfectly. Its packed full of air and the spear will fly.
I like bandguns a lot. I just think the small guns without a doubt the pneumatics are the clear winner. You can pack so much punch in a tiny thin barrel gun.
i also dont plan on seeing any 300lb tuna off the coast of Pompano, Fl <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Small pneumatics to fire in poor vis and close range are easily dominant. You can load them way faster and they cut through the water like a knife. Sure they can be very top heavy if you don't have the proper length setup. I have shot over a 2000lbs of fish my with 70cm cyrano. I haven't even opened it up to do any maintenance. I can reload and shoot up to 3 times in one breathhold.
Pneumatics still have less recoil than bandguns.. All railguns, riffe, Wongs, SeaSniper...to name a few
The mamba kits make the pneumatics more powerful than a standard 2 banded gun. As you can see in my videos, the shots are pretty impressive. My gun 115 asso with mamba kit is also perfectly balanced. Its not top heavy at all.
But in the end, it really doesn't matter what you use. Use what gives you the best results!
I was going to post that too Sporasrub.
Boo!!!
Pneumatics are great!
They move better through the water than any bandgun!
Way cheaper to maintain! Bands cost more than orings! Even though, i dont replace any orings internally.
Very little recoil!
Small pneumatics easily have the edge over small bandguns
Easier to attach video camera
Plenty of power and fast shaft speed
Add a sealing kit to a long pneumatic and you have yourself an underwater recoiless canon! 5m+ shots!
