Feral youd load a good rail
Feral youd load a good rail gun easily with technique. I know 60kg girls that load 1300 rail guns. Its practice and technique.
Not going to get into the pneumatic vs rubber debate.... again... just saying.

give that a read.
I dont know why anyone would want to use a pneumatic personally.

970
He is trying to say he wants a mares 970 OR a cressi sub SL 700. I dont want anything to do with the argument, he has the chance to play with my riffe and isnt really into it...

I found a Cyrano tougher to load than a 1200 Pelaj Nemesis.

Really? I have a 970 running
Really? I have a 970 running at full pressure. I don't even use loader, I point it at a rock and do a couple fin kicks. Even loading it the right way, using the loader, you can use much tougher leg muscles than when you load a jelly gun.

ive used pneumatics before, and honestly dont know why anyone would bother with them. i know the argument of they are good in tight holes, but so is a small lacky gun of around 900. plus, lacky guns are much more easy to modify (and most spearos do), if needed. you can increase the band sizes, add or remove extra bands, etc. you cant modify pneumatic guns.
loading rail guns is technique more than anything. get your technique right, then give it everything you've got right from the start, and get it over and done as quickly as possible. i have no problems loading twin 24mm lackys on my RA 1500, and they are nearly solid black and surgical rubbers.

TWIN 20mm rubbers? why why
TWIN 20mm rubbers? why why why??? i use to use twin 16s but found i was getting to many muzzle wraps when using a reel so now i am using a single 20mm and i have found it more than enuff for any fish really i busted a 20kg sambos spine a few weeks back like it was nothing! twin 20mms would overpower the gun way to much causing spear whip and inaccurasy.

Im with you on this one, I
Im with you on this one, I run twin 16's so that I can power it down if I wanna but otherwise it would be single 20. However he is correct when he says it is all technique...

Actually he said twin 24's.
Actually he said twin 24's. Sounds overkill to me too. I use twin 16's even with an 8mm shaft in my 1.4.
Maybe the diameter and number of rubbers on your gun is directly proportional to the size of your c*ck??
