c) Dude. You know that my father is a world-class spearfisherman right? Shooting each other is avoided by diving "near" each other but quite far away enough to not be shooting each other. Even longer range spearguns with multiple bands don't shoot farther than maybe 20-25 feet with any kind of velocity or accuracy. Go go friction. A pole spear like John described can't go much further than around 5 feet full extension unless you want to lose it.

Shooting yourself, well....yeah, you'd have to be pretty stupid and gimp to do this.

Uh, I've already speared 3 other divers and have two self-hits, so please calm down next time you start ridiculing people who have suffered complete freak-accidents while at the helm of a pole spear, my self-esteem is already fragile enough.

j/k, as O says, the range isn't that large, you've got to be pretty close and intentionally trying to shoot something to hit it. Maybe if you're in really thick kelp and are careless, but even then it would be a challenge.

a) well we squelched ours before doing any real damage.

b) it's kind of a yuppie place, I guess that's the one thing I don;t like about it.

c)see above

d)or you can just be deviously cunning and/or determined.

e) well I've played much more recently than that, been about 6 months from pick-up, but over a year since playing in a league.

g) well hello there
