The 5/16 Magnum Gun

scroll down for menus . more info

    This 60” gun is designed for those who like to hunt with the smaller 5/16” shaft size without compromising on effective range. With the enclosed track and “beefy” gun stock, the spear shaft can be “powered up” without loosing accuracy; Up to 460 pounds of band tension can be utilized, providing an effective range of over 20 feet.

    Top divers like Ron Mullins and Terry Maas make use of this gun for many pelagic species, but it’s still small enough to hunt in close quarters like Kelp beds.

    The Magnum Gun is basically a downsized version of the Tuna Gun, with a smaller enclosed track to fit the 5/16” shaft. It uses the same rear-set trigger mechanism, alloy muzzle and blank construction methods but without the weighted side stocks which are not necessary with the lighter shaft. This combination produces a very high shaft velocity, which many divers prefer. The tapered stock is smaller at the front for low swing resistance and is positively buoyant with a neutral to slightly nose heavy balance. The line release is the standard side-catch lever used on all but the Tuna Gun.

    The Magnum Gun can be ordered fully rigged with a choice of 65” or 68” by 5/16” shaft, 400 pound test Jinkai Monofilament or 500 pound test stainless cable shooting line rig with tapered rubber break-away plug. The line can be rigged to either a low drag slide ring or to the hole in the forward cocking fin. Other options include standard or high tension, (green), 9/16” power bands, (3 to 5 each) and4”, low drag, Alexander slip tip.
