Pneumatic VS Rubber Speargun | ADRENO

In this video, Luke from ADRENO Melbourne talks about the differences between a pneumatic speargun and a rubber speargun (or traditional speargun, powered by rubber).

There is a myth that pneumatic spearguns are generally easier to load and use, of which probably has a lot to do with their compact size. Pneumatic spearguns are different from rubber spearguns in the way that the spear is loaded inside the speargun, of which can be a bit of a hassle. Alternatically, rubber spearguns are loaded with much more ease.

Another major difference is maintainence. Pneumatic have o-rings and air pressure; if any problems arise, you'll have to send it off to a technician. On the other hand, a rubber speargun can be repaired yourself with basic materials.

the presenter was obviously biased against the pneumatic. accuracy range and reload comparison would be more informative

[moosediver]

This guy has never used a pneumatic. I've used them for 30 years my first a mares sten and currently a mares cyrano 110 they load way quicker than rubber guns and in 30 years I've only ever had 1 o ring give me trouble. They're easy to fix as if you have any mechanical understanding and the power is variable. I guarantee i can load my 110 faster and get it into action quicker than any rubber gun out there. Treat them with respect and was them after diving and they'll last along time. Sad to see such a biased comparison I buy from adreno and they've never let me down but that was unfair to good spearguns. The only disadvantage is on older models the line of sight is higher than the shaft so this takes some getting used to.

i have been spearfishing for close to 45 years now. The first 23 years i had the same undersee rubber gun. Then i was introduced to a mares cyrano 970. This is the best gun ever! i tried the hft but went back to the cyrano with a few upgrades i did myself. I shoot all the fishes i ever did. No rubber gun can be better than a compressed air gun when it comes to costs and reliability!

He’s obviously against pneumatic guns and if you look behind him you’ll see why, I love pneumatic guns they’re super accurate and powerful, I have 2 Mares and they’re nothing but fanatics spearguns.

Would be interested in a video with side by side pro and con of each.

[gennaroraggio]

Yes all you need is a 1/2 inch PVC T connector loads the spear like a charm.Make sure to connect the spear to the gun with a flexible aircraft cable (about 15 feet)

The spear loader costs about $3 and I carry a spare one. yes easy to lose, but also a snorkel can get lost as easily. I think pneumatics up to 75 cm are easy to load, and the piston pushes the shaft all the way ti the end, , while the rubber in a rubber band keeps losing momentum and stop pushing the shaft before the shaft has left the speargun. Isn's a 70 cm pneumatic comparable to a 90 / 100 cm band gun? easier to transport too, and you can easily add a n action camera with velcro. Also spear is thicker so it has more momentum and less likely to bend. Maintenance is simple and you can add some oil once a year. I bought a gauge and my Salvimar Predathor did not lose any pressure in a year. There are advantages for pneumatics. Yes an expensive 100+ cm rubber goon may be better for blue water, but there are pros in pneumatics that this video ignored. Rubbers degrade, after a year they lose power, the pneumatic does not need a new piston or seals every year. Parts for pneumatics are inexpensive, and there are plenty of tutorials on how to service them. They are all more or less similar. When I switched to pneumatic I feel the spear shoots more straight.

Do you have branch in Philippines. I really like to buy phneumatic speargun?

[joachims]

Can we se a proper review of a pneumatic please?:)

[gabriellee]

I have a 110 mares cyrano and a 115 salvimar carbon. I use them most weekends not a single issue since I bought them about a year ago and for maintenance it just needs a good fresh water rinse and a few drop of oil down the trigger. I made my own loader much safer than those and if you lose it I just wrap a glove around the tip and do it that way. Nothing against rubber guns just find the pneumatic gun much easier and faster to load in my case.

[fifis]

That was a disappointing video. At least give some pros and cons of both options instead of just saying that it's easier to load a band fun.

[michaelc.ateoate]

You're not out of luck if you lose that little plastic piece to load the pneumatic gun spear .you just use the ground or the reef you're on and press down. Be careful on the reef of course 🙏😁

[throwapot]

Dumb video, totally biased. There are pros and cons to each. You should have titled of this video “we only sell rail guns so please buy them and don’t buy pneumatics.” Or at leas titles it “drawbacks to pneumatics” so that it would have come across as objective

[mazenmohamed]

How to release the pressure of the pneumatic gun? How do l know how much air to pump? I bought a pneumatic gun recently & l would like this info thanks Guys

[NathanHarrison]

It’s pretty obvious which gun he prefers personally.

[tonyswinkels]

Soo farr wats better the gazgun or the rubber guns

[davidhuebner]

Wouldn’t another issue with the pneumatic gun come with increased depth? What I’m getting at is wouldn’t the power of the gun become decreased as you descend further because of the gasses inside becoming more and more compressed with the increased pressure?

[simontisdell]

Bought a mares sten for 15$ at a garage sale.. didnt know you needed a loader thingo, ive been loading it fine.. you can ugga dugga em in

[dennisrkb]

Why does it take so much force to "load" a co2 gun? What's the point of it being co2 powered then?

[jordanynoel]

Tengo una pregunta un arpón 51 podemos reducirlos ah 40 ?
