R A Tuna 70 ~~ WTF?!?!?!?!?! Video on post #13

Brand new, first time out.
After about my 4th or 5th shot it breaks.
Where it broke made it so I couldn't use the shooting line to secure the shaft to the rail rendering it useless.
Anyone else ever have this happen???
And I was hoping 2015 would be the year where things didn't break. 
We'll see how their warranty is....... 

Wowsy Wowsy Woo Woo!
You need to change your screen name to Schleprock 

Sorry to hear about your gun hopefully it's covered....good luck buddy.

I kinda abused that part on my gun and it is still going strong.
RA has great warranty. Freediveshop in sac is where you need to talk to.

How does it break?

I don't know. It just did.
I took a shot, went to reload and it was broken.
I have the sequence on video, but the camera was on the wrong setting so it's pretty grainy.
There is no doubt that one second it was fine and after the following shot it wasn't.

No kidding!
Like I said, I was hoping 2015 would be a better year.

Wow....I'm sure one of the shops will cover it but if you run into any issues let me know. I have a Pathos muzzle you can slap on a RA tube and will look into getting you a replacement if you need one.

Bummer

Contact the freedive shop. They should help ya.

What part of it broke? Were you shooting in a hole or open water?

Its a spear gun, not an an iron!  I'm sure they will take care of it.

That's what you get for ordering gear online instead of going to a reputable shop

Pretty sure that's not why it broke. 

It still came from the distributor so hopefully it gets fixed fast.  As long as the trigger mech and bands worked I would have figured out how to keep using it.  Tied the line to a diff part of the gun or to float line.

Pretty sure that was a joke.

I know.  You had a smiley face.

Here's the shot and my discovery of the break.
The vid is grainy because, like an idiot, I didn't check the settings on the GoPro before I went out.

The WTF moment at 1:01 says it all  .  Hopefully you can get it warrantied quickly and get back to shootn fish.
