Nope mate who's selling them. I would look into the type of material it is made of. Aluminium is very common. What is the size of the gun and it is new or an oldish gun?

By any chance, the trigger mechanism is demka? It is the most common brand for trigger mechanism, widely used by other brands and relatively safe.

1 Dak il habel tibdlux ghax jiffloatja, u jekk mhux b'sahhtu hafna ahjar halli jekk tigi bzonn taqtghu ma ihabbtekx.
2 Dak hemm bicca ghodda biex tkebbeb il habel mahha u tqassru u ittawwlu kemm trid int.
3 Il habel bil ballun qatt torbtu mal harpoon, dak irid jehel ma comba zghira fit tarf li int u tghum iddahhala taht ic cinturin, li kull darba tnehhiha u titlaqa fil-qiegh qabel tinzel, jew kif suppost tkunu tnejn min nies u tatiha lil siehbek sakemm tkun isfel, u huwa jkun fuqek ghassa ghal dak li jista jinqata.
4 tinsiex li ic cinturin irid ikun tal lasku u bi quick release buckle

Zomm il-bokkla u armi ic cinturin....
Man ghandek bzonn tmur tixtri minghand xi hadd li jfemhek ftit.

octo hunter · July 12, 2013, 11:59:42 CET

Habib, nahseb li ghandek problema u mhix zghira. L-ewwel nett messek tmur taghmel kors sura ta nies qabel tibda tissogra hajtek. L-ghadds hu delizzju ghalik u ghaldaqstant tghallmu ghamlu sewwa. Minn dak li qed tikteb hawn jideher bic-car li ghadek ma taf xejn u se jiddispjacik. Qed tmur tixtri l-affarijiet minn fejn gie gie u hadd m'hu jispjegalek x'hinu sewwa u x'hinu hazin. Dan is-sajf uzah biex titghallem minghand xi hadd professjonali, wara ghodos u hu gost kemm trid. Grazzi.

Habib jin mmur kemm scuba u kemm freediving - u ghandi cinturini tad drapp ghal scuba u lakstu ghal free diving. Ghandi suits ta l scuba u suits tal free diving.

Dettalji li huma ta effet kbir. Importanti kollox quick release jinqala xi haga free diving hajja jew mewt, scuba qijed bl arja meta jinqalalek xi haga jekk ma tinfixilx ghandek hafna iktar cans tohrog minnha.

a brutally honest answer to what length harpoon you need, is what size of fish do you see when you dive? how close do you manage to get undetected? if you dont see any big fish,and you cant sneak up on them close, then you dont need a harpoon at this stage.

i would recommend for someone starting out a go pro camera first (you can shoot even the smaller fish you will first encounter with this ) , later if he is still interested and gets a gun he can attach the camera to it.
