Description

Speargun Gladius

It has a shape of a cuttlefish bone with a reduced head and a higher volume towards the hand. This shape makes it well balanced and easy to handle in the water. It has an integrated shaft guide over the whole barrel.

The behindhand triggering mechanism is C4 “Auto-R” with an integrated line releaser that can be positioned on the left or on the right side. The mechanism and the trigger are entirely manufactured in stainless steel AISI316.

GLADIUS is sold with two anatomical and adjustable handles. The head, which is integrated in the barrell, is made entirely in carbon fiber and can feature single or double latex bands with a diameter up to ø18mm. On the head there are two hook shaped stainless steel line holders on the sides and one line holder screwed to the bottom of the barrel.

On request it is possible to have the left anatomical handle but only in orange.

The handle butt is covered in soft plastic material to have more stability during the charge. GLADIUS can mount C4 HERCULES reels.

How to know the exact measure of C4 Primeline slings to be assembled on my speargun?

To make a circular brand

Measure length L on your speargun
L= from the wishbone notch on the shaft to the sling posponing on the head.

14mm dia Slings : (L cm x 2 ) / 3.4
16 mm dia Slings: (L cm x 2 ) / 3.3

Add the cm needed for the binding.

Example: If L is 80 cm and you need to assemble a 16mm dia sling:
80 cm x2 = 160 cm
160 : 3,3 = 48.48 cm
48,48 + 3 cm ( cm for standard binding ) = 51,48 cm

You will therefore have to cut a 16mm dia sling with a length of 51.48 cm.

To make a single band

Measure length L on your speargun
L= from the wishbone notch on the shaft to the sling positioning on the head.
E14mm dia Slings : (L cm x 2 ) / 3.4
16 mm dia Slings: (L cm x 2 ) / 3.3

Add the cm needed for the binding.

Example: If L is 80 cm and you need to assemble a 16mm dia sling:
80 cm : 3.3 = 24.24 cm
24.24 + 3 cm ( cm for standard binding ) = 27.24 cm

You will therefore have to cut a 16mm dia sling with a length of 27.24 cm.
