Scorpia Railgun

Features:

Low profile Muzzle

The semi-closed Rob Allen muzzle is a perfect example of efficient, effective engineering. By looking closely at the key requirements for accurate shooting, ease of reloading and ease of maintenance, Rob worked to reduce the overall size and weight and minimise the amount of material around the spear, to ensure easy target acquisition and reliable consistent aiming.

Replaceable Powerband

The ability to replace the factory powerband and/or add a powerband without any tools has allowed divers to fine-tune their Scorpia Railgun quickly, to account for conditions and target species. Hunting fish in and around the rocks, simply run 1 16mm powerband. Find yourself in clear water hunting Spanish Mackerel at range, no problems, at an additional 16mm from your gear bag quickly to increase power.

Integrated rail alloy barrel

Rob Allen pioneered the use of an integrated aluminium rail barrel into his guns decades ago to help support the shaft and increase barrel strength. This allowed for a lightweight gun with much greater power while remaining laser accurate. This barrel design continues on today using the highest aerospace-grade alloys to create a reliable, lightweight and efficient barrel as the backbone of your speargun.

The Rob Allen Vecta 2 handle and mechanism

Handle and mechanism of your speargun are vital. The wrong shape and angle will result in difficult aiming and inconsistent accuracy due to recall. Rob Allen works endlessly on small minute details on his Vecta series of handles to make them an easy, accurate and reliable system for hunting fish.

Latest Vecta 2 handle offers:

• • Active line release working off the sear, this eliminates any issues with shooting line tension and shaft load. This results in a more consistent release and trigger pull. Ask any target shooter and repetitive consistency is the key to accuracy.
  • Large rounded spear through to allow a wide range of shafts and shooting lines to be used with minimal wear. 6mm-8mm shafts are no problem.
  • Ergonomic handle with a soft touch over mould designed to direct and reduce recall and muzzle lift, and give a comfortable secure and consistent grip, with a natural and easy reach to the trigger. It’s all about maximizing energy to the spear and accuracy.
  • Solid anchor with swivel shark clip. A solid and reliable attachment point for your float line. When you get the shot on that fish of a lifetime you don’t want to worry about whether your gun will come back.

1 x 16mm Powerband

The engine for your speargun. The key to a consistent and powerful speargun is the powerband. Rob Allen has spent countless hours working on the band lengths and latex composition of his signature powerbands to ensure minimal energy drop over time and consistent band stretch and energy levels. This combines to give you a reliable power output and aiming point. Combined with lightweight and streamlined dyneema bridles, these bands are magic. By tuning the band length to the sweet spot for the rubber, Rob can perfect the band and power for each length speargun.

Rob Allen 7mm spring steel spear

It’s no secret Rob Allen makes the straightest, toughest spears around. The spear design is classic Rob Allen and has again become a reference point for spears the world over, many times copied, but never bettered.

• • Heat-treated spring steel Hardened to 2100mpa resisting bending and breaking
  • Machine ground tri-cut tip for busting through scale and bone
  • Heavy-duty zinc electroplated outer coating to resist corrosion and glare
  • Two loading notches that are smooth and rounded to fit dyneema bridle perfectly
  • Drilled and smoothed shooting line anchor point
  • Every Rob Allen shaft is straightened and tested by hand to ensure the straightest, most accurate spear you’ll ever use.
  • HD spring stainless steel pin and thick heavy-duty stainless-steel barb, resists sheering even on the biggest fish and are all tuned to engage and lock on the penetration of the fish.

HD swivel clip and 400lb reinforced monofilament rigging

A swivel clip keeps the shooting line at the perfect tension and allows for some give in the system during the shot and fight. The swivel clip helps when removing fish from the spear and allows for a fast changeover in the event of a damaged or jammed spear. HD 400lb mono has excellent abrasion resistance and will handle a huge amount of abuse over rocks and coral.

Tool free maintenance and service

Coastlines of South Africa and Australia are remote, harsh environments and all tools and equipment should be cleaned and maintained. Rob Allen spends more time than most in the middle of nowhere, hunting elusive species with very limited equipment. Rob Allen’s focus from the beginning was to be able to clean and replace spears, powerbands and shooting line with minimal tools. As a result, a simple wash down in freshwater, band, spear and shooting line replaced by hand when necessary is all that’s needed. Simply take a couple of spare rigged spears and some premade looped powerbands and your good for your next week-long spearfishing adventure.
