Wow man! That's quite a story. There was a guy last year or the year before that was loading or unloading a gun down in mex on the side of a panga and it went off. The recoil from the gun in his chest actually killed him. This is exactly why I am a HUGE advocate of making my guns with just the right amount of ballast and mass so that there is very manageable recoil on the gun. Unlike most Riffe guns that come overpowered and packed with recoil out of the box. I've been knocked in the face a couple of times too and it sucks. Congrats on those beautiful fish. I recently speared my first dodos as well and man was it an experience.

Spearguns aren't firearms but still demend respect. Sure, they're just rubber bands, but they're really strong rubber bands. You've still got your eyes and your teeth. Spear gun recoil has claimed many of both.
