..in reality there are a lot of spearos that have their loaded guns in the boat during most of the day. i am one of them. i will load my 130 or 140 in the boat and then have it loaded until i take a shot or until we have to take a longer drive with the boat. simple because if you checking 20-30 spots a day it would be a lot of loading and unloading. for hardcore spearos or comercial spearos to much energy and time involved to do that. also jumping in the water with an unloaded gun will make you lose a lot of fish. because in many spots you will have fish already close or nearby the boat when you jump in. specially wahoos, amberjacks or mahis are attracted to the boat and the enginenoise and splashwater it creating. or when driftdiving in hard current. when you have to do many drifts over the same area , it would very demanding to load and offload a big gun after and before every next drift. but yeah, i do agree, it is not the safest thing to do. and i would not tell anybody to do it. but by the end of the day, anyone will have to make their choice. you take the risk or not..
I agree but also don't recommend keeping a loaded gun on the boat, seen a few accidents due to just this habit, a chance you take. Main thing here was to try educate about dry firing a gun.
@@RobAllenSpearfishing ..did dry firing recently for the first time with a 140 with two 16mm bands. just the spear, no line attached. needed to check out a new trigger. shot into a grassy spot 10meters away. the 180cm spear went really deep into the ground. definitely no to recommend..
Great video to hopefully prevent Darwin Award nominees from receiving the dubious distinction........... The math in determining the speargun energy stored, compared to the energy of a ballistic firearm discharge is a very good comparator that gets the "point" across (pun intended) Well done. Cheers
I had once told my friend after done making his speargun not to test fire it on the banana but he never listen to me.. when he fired, the butt recoiled on his chin and it split open in half..

🤣 many thanks for your kind words 👍
I wish I saw this video 35 years ago I was lucky only surprised no injuries but have warned so many 😊
Good topic to bring up. A friend of mine broke his nose and never dove again due to resulting sinus issues.
Heard that a few times, not good for business 😜👍
super important video, this should be shared on every platform
Please do.
Great safety topic to have covered👍 well done Rob Allen👏
Thank you.
Thanks Rob!!
Hope you give more tips on gear safety sir.. thanks so much
There will be a few more 😜
😮 WOW! 😃 👍👌

There have been so many injuries, not good.
⚠️⚠️⚠️💥⚠️⚠️
Maybe give this video another name eg dry firing speargun, to get more people finding it and taking advantage.
Good point.
Wow. Sad it even has to be mentioned...
Agreed but important for inexperienced guys to be reminded.
I'm sorry you even need to explain this.
Unfortunately there are many out there with no experience who don't understand the dangers, not their fault, hence my input to try help.
