Harris and bugrington, anyone think of a use for a speargun?

SimonAH

It is possible that you have read one of my previous rambling threads involving being bored in an industrial hotel in the middle of la belle France and buying stuff from the Decathlon shop wickedly placed directly across the road from me.

The haul included cycling tops, boots, flippers, an archery set and a speargun.

The justification for the purchase of a ludicrously lethal pistol gripped sub aqua fish nailing machine was my holiday in Bermuda in August - where on my one and only previous visit seven years ago I remembered seeing a notice that spear fishing was not permitted within 100m of the beach. Ergo it was permitted outside of that. (Bondesque visions of stalking sharks ensued)

Arse! and probably Feck! Actual research says A) One mile from shore and Only proper javelin type spears (ie not the watery equivalent of a Kalashnikof) allowed.

Anyone have a shark problem? Garden overrun with malevolent sprats? Speargun for sale cheap! Beauchat by the way, top notch gear Guv.

Can't you use it in the commute for errant drivers in South Wales?

Could have done with one to take out the fecking pigeons who have eaten almost all of the large crop of cherries off our tree - would have had enough for some jam, but now only a handful left and they weren't even ripe. The feathered vermin have also snapped off a main branch (it's only a small sapling). I would consider a shotgun, but that will probably take out next door's rather flimsy fence.

That's a bit rich coming from anyone in Brizzle. Last time I was over there I had to re-assure my then gf that the drivers try to kill everyone, and it was nothing personal. Mind, at least they are capable of decisive action, unlike our local Cardiff drivers, and of going more than 40 on a motorway, unlike the valleys drivers who get a bit scared above that; they think the speed will boil thier blood and it will evaporate through thier ears or something. I used to have a Citroen 2CV, and the locals still got in my way.

Could have used it at 3am this morning when I was woken up by a bunch of not so young herberts (twenty somethings) having some sort of tribal dispute outside my house. Would have loved to sit outside their place at 6am this morning doing the same to them to see how they would like it.

Can you really make jam from pigeons?

Send it over to Kieran Burns, he may need it when he next encounters the Stella swigging motorist.

Or he could harpoon an overtaking lorry to help him up hills...

Yep - need to contact the manufacturer to find out if they supply top tube mounts. Ideally with an option for front or rear facing.

But what would be the food chain modifier?
