I was only intending to use a plain stainless spear with a "spronger" head,,, that would only latch in enough to be able to drag em in within reach.
In my earlier years (diving) .303 and 12g power heads were common,,,,, but seemed to drop off the favorite list after some bloke must've thought it would be fun to fire one into a jetty pylon.
It rebounded and killed him piercing him in reverse.
It's much safer using them on the end of a hand spear ( hawain sling )
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
