That gun will need a lot of cleaning and lube to run again...

You'd think.


That is a bit of overkill for a 2 pound fish. I would think a CO2
powered repeater of some sort would work better. It could be plastic
and stainless. Maybe something that pokes a hole in them and injects
enough CO2 in there to blow them up.


Friend has a buddy living on the US Virgin Islands. Says they taste great,
and come kill them. When I was snorkeling there, looked like a Hawaiian
Sling would be the best.


The problem is getting them off the spear without getting stung.
