Aloha Everyone

I said I would get these photos up as soon as the Hawaii Skin Diver Expo was over. We had a great show and alot of positive reviews on our new KING Venom line.

So why did we build a Blue Water Railgun? Many customers over the last two years have been asking for a Railgun capable of shooting three 5/8" bands and a 5/16" shaft with a slip-tip. This creates a problem for most railguns as they either become unsafe or the re-coil makes less than perfect shots.

Our new railgun answers this problem, weighing it at just over 6 lbs of Carbon Fiber the gun handles three bands with little or no recoil. The shape of our tube offers increased stability and reduces the chance of any muzzle flip on the shot. Speaking of muzzles our new gun does not have one, it is built right into the tube and when the bands are loaded they rise above the barrel for a very streamline shot.

Many large railguns that try and shoot three and four bands fall short on barrel flex. It is very difficult, especially on guns over 140 cm to keep the barrel from flexing. Our barrel could pick up the Island of Hawaii a with a minimum wall thickness of .186" (4.5mm) at the front and rear and solid carbon wings!

Yes it floats horizontally with the shaft out and the weight distribution (balance) while swimming around with the shaft in is effortless. No other railgun in the world has a barrel built to these specs.

We are producing the the new KING Venom in sizes from 120-150 and they come complete with 3 5/8" Bands and a 3 notch 7.5mm shaft. We will also offer a "Mori Option" which will be a threaded 5/16" shaft with three mini shark fins and of course his world famous slip tips.

I really think we did our best to keep the price reasonable especially for 100% Carbon Fiber. They range from $750-$795 and of course they have a lifetime warranty!

absolutely beautiful....
Btw I would love to see a close up of that "muzzle" you were talking about Rick

deckhandmike · 07-21-2009, 05:47 PM

Wow! I want one! If you got an ugly protoype you need to get rid of let me know. Otherwise I'll start saving. Really nice to see the Mori option. That's the one thing that had kind of kept me away from really getting into pipeguns. Congrats on that beauty.
