Behaviour of a speargun with a novel muzzle by V. Nigrelli, M. Mucera, T. Ingrassia

“…Thanks to the particular geometry of the new muzzle, one of the front constraints of the elastic bands is moved to the lower part of the barrel or the handle.As a consequence, the scheme of the loads applied on the speargun remarkably changes passing from a standard muzzle to a roller one. All that has a great influence on the level of deformation of the barrel and, consequently, on the accuracy of the shot. …”
