Understanding the Main Types of Spearguns
Modern spearfishing gear generally falls into two main categories: rollerguns and railguns. Each offers different advantages depending on where and how you dive.
Rollerguns: Maximum Power and Range
Rollerguns use a roller system that allows bands to travel further along the barrel, creating more power and longer shooting distance.
Advantages of rollerguns include:
• Increased power from shorter gun length
• Greater shooting range
• Improved band efficiency
• Excellent performance on larger fish
Rollerguns are particularly popular for bluewater hunting and pelagic species.
One of the most powerful options available is the Vendetta Rollergun.
The Vendetta is built tough for demanding spearfishing environments and serious hunters targeting large fish.
Bluewater Hunting: Maximum Power and Range
When targeting large pelagic species in the open ocean, power and shooting distance become critical. Bluewater hunting often requires a speargun capable of delivering maximum penetration and accuracy at longer ranges.
For these conditions, many experienced divers choose double roller spearguns, which provide significantly increased band power and energy transfer to the spear.
The Vendetta Double Rollergun is designed specifically for bluewater hunting and larger game fish. Its double roller configuration delivers exceptional power while maintaining accuracy and balance, making it ideal for targeting species such as tuna, wahoo, and other pelagic fish.
Versatile Rollerguns for All Conditions
Another highly versatile option is the Envy Rollergun.
The Envy Rollergun is widely considered one of the best all-round spearguns, delivering excellent accuracy and smooth shooting performance across a wide range of spearfishing environments.
Railguns: Precision and Versatility
Railguns generally feature one or two rubbers made to loop together which sit further back from the muzzle making it easier to load. Both bands are pulled back and loaded into seperate notches on the shaft. If shooting smaller species or in caves a single band can be loaded making it versatile to decrease the power.
Benefits include:
• Better for beginners and reef diving
• Lightweight and easy to handle
• Reliable and simple
• Versatile power for option to run one or two bands
One of the most popular options for divers looking for a precision railgun is the Envy Pro Speargun.
The Envy Pro is precision engineered for spearfishers who want balance, control, and dependable performance in a wide range of environments.
Spearguns Built for Every Spearfishing Environment
Spearfishing conditions can change dramatically depending on where you dive.
You might be:
• Hunting reef fish in shallow water
• Diving offshore drop-offs
• Targeting pelagic fish in bluewater
• Spearfishing in low visibility conditions

How to Choose the Right Speargun
When selecting your next speargun, consider these four key factors.
1. Diving Location
Reef diving typically requires shorter guns for manoeuvrability, while bluewater hunting often benefits from longer, more powerful setups.
2. Target Species
Larger fish require greater penetration power and range.
3. Visibility Conditions
Low visibility environments favour shorter, more compact spearguns.
4. Experience Level
New divers often prefer versatile all-round guns, while experienced spearfishers may choose specialised gear designed for particular hunting conditions.
