Nice seeing people sharing content for others. The rubber selection depends on what will be accelerated - here the spear. Thinner/shorter spears can use a single rubber. Absolutely. The selection of the tube depends on budget and carbon is used for smaller guns so they can float after the shot - or for longer guns (added rigidity). The aluminum tubes that have an integrated rail are absolutely stiff - we use 120s and 140s and never saw any bending, using 2x16mm bands. Probably you refer to low-quality pipe guns when talking about bending. Personally I tend to use mainly the shorter gun for any scenario as I like the maneuverability of shorter spearguns. To get closer to fish just fin a bit more to close the gap - or have more patience (and breath hold) for fish to come in closer. The critical point here (talking about tube lenghts) from a safety point of view is that guns should float after the shot (no shaft on them). You are right for the UK - power is not the priority.

I run a 105 inverted carbon roller with twin under 16mm and 17.5 for upper, all from FFSUB. I miss absolutely nothing and it manoeuvres better than my 85. I like to pick out of a large shoal and not waste time doing it so this is what's right for me, its all personal preference.
🤣🤣 there is no right or wrong. Just a personal opinion 🤣 To be fair I do miss the doubles for adjustability of power. But I love the simpleness off a single band.
Quality info as always Sam, cheers. Hope you and the family are keeping well dude.

@@Tentoumushi69 I also love my inverts and pick that as my daily user. Something about them they just work. 😁
Twin 14mm’s for the females…? I feel personally attacked 😂
