Abstract

A spear gun preferably operated from the low pressure gas outlet of a diver's air tank. The gun includes a first barrel over which a second barrel is slidably mounted. A gas inlet is mounted on the second barrel which in turn is normally forwardly positioned in a first non-firing position. Retraction of the second barrel acts as a slide valve to permit gas to enter the first barrel and force an arrow, etc. outwardly therefrom.
