Anybody still see them (or remember them)?
Would love to get a hold one.
 
The last one I saw was Frank Hammits, at Franks Dive Shop before he closed the shop. Anyone origionally using those guns would now be in their 70's +.
 
Frank certified me in the 70's. He carried one of those beasts on all open water dives. That was his ditchable weight.
Most were home made, but if I recall correctly, somebody started making them commercially.
I have some friends in the keys who free shaft and I told them about the guns. It would be a big coup if I could find one.
Thanks for the reply.
