If you are in close to the reef and don’t take long shots on big fish a smaller one would be better for quicker turning. Its does have the space for a second band (I took mine into Neptonics for the addition). Safety is loose and if you tilt the gun to the left it will engage on its own. I removed the safety and now I have no issues. Also several friends will be purchasing this as a backup gun after trying mine. Review: Great gun for the money - Bought this smaller (75cm) gun for ease of traveling. I can fit it diagonally in a 40" roller duffel bag and not have to pay for an oversize check bag. Based on other reviews, I put on a 2nd band and ground a better point on the end of the shaft. As others have mentioned, the safety is a little loose. To remedy, I just pressed my dive knife into the plastic to create some bumps to ensure the safety stays put. Gun performed flawlessly on the first outing. To get a little more range, I made a longer shooting line, which the gun already anticipates by providing a notch at the tip of the gun for wrapping one more wrap of shooting line. This will be my go to gun for reef hunting. Previously I used my 105cm Salvimar in the reef, but its higher power and length are unwelcome properties when hunting smaller fish in the rocks and coral. ## Features - IDEAL ENTRY-LEVEL SPEARGUN - Perfect for new spearfishers, the Bandit sling gun offers a simple design, making it easy to use and master; Its robust construction provides a dependable, high-quality option for beginners without compromising performance - DURABLE 7MM SHARKFIN SHAFT - Equipped with a 7mm Sharkfin shaft, the Bandit spear gun for spearfishing delivers strength and precision, allowing for powerful, accurate shots; The durable shaft withstands tough underwater conditions, enhancing reliability during every dive - HIGH-PERFORMANCE SLING - This sling speargun features the 16mm S-Power Speed circular sling that ensures powerful propulsion, maximizing shooting range and impact; This sling provides quick reloads and exceptional elasticity, giving divers the edge needed for efficient underwater hunting - ENCLOSED MUZZLE -This sling spear gun has an enclosed muzzle design that keeps the shaft in place while allowing the option to add an extra band, enhancing power and versatility; This feature gives spearfishers the flexibility to adjust performance based on different spearfishing needs - ERGONOMIC HANDLE - This spear gun incorporates an ergonomic handle that offers comfort and stability, providing a natural grip for better control underwater; It provides easy handling and a confident hold, even during extended use; The metal clip on handle allows for easy attachment ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 65.25 x 9.1 x 8.5 inches | | Package Weight | 3.83 Kilograms | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 49.5 x 5 x 3 inches | | Item Weight | 3 Pounds | | Brand Name | Mares | | Warranty Description | This product comes with a full manufacturer warranty. | | Model Name | 423420-075 | | Color | Multi | | Manufacturer | Mares | | Part Number | 423420-075 | | Included Components | Speargun | | Size | 75cm | ## Images ![BANDIT SPEARGUN - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51fuokH3FQL.jpg) ![BANDIT SPEARGUN - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/516Cp7zHW+L.jpg) ![BANDIT SPEARGUN - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51aa0KE2ZwL.jpg) ![BANDIT SPEARGUN - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6128H-KLSDL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this spear gun float?** A: Once you shoot the spear, the gun floats. It will sink with the spear in place. **Q: So whats the effective range would be for 95cm?** A: I would say is accurate at 3 feet but depends on fish ... And also you cant shoot a thick fish with this it wont do anything to them example snook or something similar to it just would scratch it.. I bought it for my wife and is ok for sheaphead and small fishes at least to have fun ...is the perfect size that i would have say.. Confortable size hands doesnt get tired... But power ...umm has to be close... If you want to get something powerful comfortable and accurate i would say the jbl but the wooden one i also have it and i love it good for reload and perfect balanced under water.. Really accurate from a distance and not that expensive but thats my opinion .. I have 9 guns in total and my favorite one is the jbl but the wooden one i fogot the model tho.. But i can say is great for deep deep and for regular deep i will say from 5' to 50' is great if you going deeper than that then get a bigger one 3 sling well hope this could help thanks **Q: does the shaft have notches or pins/tabs/sharkfins?** A: Two shark fins **Q: Can i confirm that the gun is completely non pneumatic?** A: It is completely non pneumatic. It’s a single circular band. The gun is mediocre quality. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great backup/ beginner gun *by J***. on September 21, 2019* Great mid range gun (95 cm).

I have had this for 3 months now. I live in the South Pacific and dive at least once a week but try to get out a couple times a week if I can. I usually fish in tropical very clear waters where the reef drops off to the deep. I free dive with a snorkel and mask. First there are a few flaws with the gun as others have noted. I have found that these issues can be fixed and for the price, I am willing to fix and deal with them. Safety - As pointed out in other reviews, the safety is wonky. When the gun is cocked and ready, the safety slide will move back and forth depending how you tilt the gun. This means that when you want to take a shot, the safety may slide in place and you miss the shot. It also means that the safety may not be on when you want it to be. I found that once the gun is cocked, simply hold the safety into the on position and squeeze the trigger. This seems to lock it in place and it will stop moving. When you are ready, take the safety off and it will remain off. The Catch here is once I take the safety off, it doesn't seem to go back on until after I have shot and reloaded. I was always taught not to count on a safety anyways, but be careful with that. Mares really should fix this issue. It seems like a liability. The spear - it is not good. It has a tri-cut tip which I have found does not penetrate well. Additionally the hooks for the band stick up rather than lay flat with the rest of the shaft. I found that they would catch my line connecting the shaft to the gun at the end of the covered muzzle and cut it. Additionally, on my second use, the crimping on the line connecting the shaft came off after i shot a dogfish tuna and I lost both the shaft and the tuna. I replaced it with a better slightly thinner shaft and have had much better results. Bands - The gun is fairly week with the stock band. I have installed a second band and it has greatly increased performance. You can also tighten the stock band. I find that it is a bit loose and while making it short makes it harder to load, there is room to cut it down a bit. My take - replace the spear shaft and add a second band and the gun will greatly improve. For the price, it is a great gun and I have had success with a wide variety of fish species and size in the 3 months I have used it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mares Bandit Sling Speargun - Durable Easy to Use Spear Gun for Spearfishing - Ergonomic Handle, 7mm Shaft & 16mm Circular Elastic Band - punada Dive Knife - Scuba Diving Knife with holster, 2 Types Sheath 2 Pairs Thigh Leg Straps, Black Premium Divers Knives Shears for Outdoor Spearfishing, Snorkeling - Cressi Camouflage Patterned Spearfishing Gloves Made of Elastic Neoprene- get The Hunter Equipment --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/22471128-bandit-speargun](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/22471128-bandit-speargun) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-06-10*
