Mares Force Pneumo-vacuum Speargun

Mares have finally decided to make a pneumo-vacuum speargun by basing a new gun on their previous Cyrano model, the one with the high mounted inner barrel. However the rear handle and muzzle nose cone moldings are new in terms of their outer shapes, although the safety lever still operates in the same way as the Cyrano does using a rotating lever. The new muzzle uses a rubber nozzle type vacuum seal and is similar to that used by Salvimar in their Vuoto models, but not enough is known about it yet in terms of being identical or not. The Force gun shoots 7 mm Tahitian shafts out of a 13 mm diameter inner barrel.

Description
Innovative 13mm barrel pneumatic speargun with a dry system which stops water entry in to the muzzle, making it more hydrodynamic, lightweight, and easy to move
Supplied with an ergonomic handle and neon-yellow Polygon-style grip
Internal barrel is offset upwards for a better line of sight
Stainless steel trigger and line release for better fluidity when firing
High visibility security lock
Handle with stainless steel pin for bungee
Strike horizontal reel compatible
7 mm tahitian shaft
Carrying bag included
Available in 55cm, 70cm, 90cm and 100cm

Re: Mares Force Pneumo-vacuum Speargun

It appears from this photo that the vacuum seal is yellow and it was shown that way on the diagram above. My prediction is that it will soon be black as carbon black in rubber adds to its strength, abrasion and tear resistance, that is why automobile and truck tires are black. Colored rubber although hidden inside the gun muzzle will be subject to loading and pulling as the spear tail stop diameter blasts through it. Here the nose cap is unscrewed and we are looking at the vacuum seal or cuff from the rear.
