Was super excited! Then,
Till i opened the package and the spear fin was smashed to the point of making the whole rig unusable. See pics. The box had very minor shipping damage and I met the delivery guy as usual so was not expecting anything. Luckily i am very crafty and have the tools to make it functional. After about 1/2 hour of slow steady work with some basic tools and a torch I have it functional. 1 rubber band before shipping around the flapper would have prevented all of it. Not hating just a tip.Now to the gun! Man am i excited to get in the water! I bkught this for my son for this summers spearfishing trips. I got the 130cm model, he is 15 6'3 240 so no issues there and has been using my 3 band 450 mag. Now i get my baby back. This Reaper is about 1 ft longer with only 2 bands of the same diameter and the pad is much smaller on the end than my mag so will see how that works. The integrated rail is a huge plus as i have had to reattach the one to my mag. Also the safety and integrated reel seat are very nice on the reaper. I like the way the bands have seperate channels instead of all in one like the mag. Jury is out on the rigging, Im not used to the way this gun is set up but will wet test in our pool when my wife is at work of course, prior to use.Overall I cannot wait to get this in the water and see how my son does with it. Great gun, got here fast with 1 issue caused by shipper that is easily prevented by rubberbanding the barb before shipping.Will update after 1st use.

Sick gun
Sick gun for the money. They say it’s very hard to load but I disagree. Killed my fair share of yellow tail with in Mexico. Very fast.

NICER THAN THE ROB ALLEN I BOUGHT!
The quality is amazing! Nicer than the rob Allen tuna I purchased in my opinion! I had to send this gun back because I ordered the 70cm and I am repurchasing this In the “JBL Kryptek Reef Camo 90cm”.

Great gun
Gun is great, as mentioned in previous reviews packaging needs work. Luckily nothing was damaged. Have used it for a few hours. I like that it has a safety.

Good but hard to cock.
The 120 cm is very difficult to cock, and I consider myself a pretty strong guy. You had better invest in a nice chest pad as hip cocking is not an option. However, once cocked, it shoots very fast and accurate.

great gun
Shoots straight as an arrow. Love this gun. Upgraded from a 38 special aluminum to a Reaper 100 and now i'm on point with my accuracy and range in the kelp. Couldn't be happier. Rail guns are the way to go.

A nice gun but hard to load
Nice gun overall, im 6'5 245lbs and its still pretty tuff to bring the bands back but once its loaded it shoots straight and fast. I use it for shallow water grouper before they slip into caves
