How can I improve my speargun

I have some question on how to improve my speargun.
I have a Mares 1100 Cyrano speargun.
I would like to improve the shaft it bends when I try to load it.
I heard of this Sea Spring Coil I was wondering what that is.

Add a rail if the gun does not have one and use a heavier spear or thinner bands. That should do the trick

...or buy a Rabitech!

On the serious side, you can buy a stainless steel shaft (for the source, you should tell me where you live to suggest you a closer on line shop), then pressurize the gun at 25 bar/atm and there you go.
For further improvement, use a more fluid oil (motorbike fork oil will do) and enlarge the side holes of the muzzle for a quicker water output.
Moreover, if you want to spend 100 euro on it, you can upgrade the gun with a "Mamba" kit.

Re: How can I improve my speargun

put your left hand on the bottom of the shaft (just above the muzzle) as you load the spear with your right hand... maybe its because the cyrano uses a 7mm shaft so at that length it could bend ( i have a 6.5mm spear on my mamba 90 and it also bends so thats how i solve it, nothing wrong with the spear).... the cyrano 110 is supposed to be a serious piece of equipment, i would also recommend installing a mamba kit.. people swear by them on Cyranos
