I like the compact design of the "US Divers Sea Hunter Spear Pistol".  Thank you for the interesting link.

I actually had a "Voit gold" gun I bought at a flea mart When I was a  teen. Used it for many years and killed many fish with it until I got a modern gun

I too had  Voit Gold.. I also was using twin 72's with a  "j" valve and harnesses, no backpack. Those were the days. I was young enough to carry them down to 1000 step beach in Laguna.... :smt003
