Re #6 : Han shot first ;-)
Rodge, the 1st rule of talking about guns is that it should be interesting. Let me help.
14. Adapt to your situation.
I'm from Vermont where we have no gun regulation. You buy a gun, stick it in your bag, and live happily ever after. Moving to Florida, I have been intimidated by requirements to get a permit, take a shooting class, and who knows what else. So I bought a completely unregulated speargun.
Now I know what you're thinking: Sure that's great for filling the freezer with delicious protein, but how effective could it be for home defense? Let's look at the pros and cons.
The speargun is stored with the shaft in place, but with the power bands unloaded. So it takes a sec to pull them back. Even with a spare shaft, you get exactly 1 surprise shot with a range of 20 feet. Overall length is 68", so concealed carry is out.
OTOH, accuracy is better than my 9mm Glock. The shaft has a 5/16" diameter, hinged barbs, a length of 60", and weights a pound and half. Velocity is about 100 feet per sec. So there is plenty of penetration and stopping power. Plenty.
Plus, the shaft is tethered to the gun muzzle with 200 pound test line. So in case I don't stone the perp, he still can't run away. The speargun has a fixed 4" kill spike under the muzzle to finish the job. It's not very sharp. hehe
