Re: Alemanni Demultiplied Rollerguns

Quality fit for purpose is going to dictate what choices are made between spearguns, as well as how much someone wants to pay, so I suspect that the classic band gun has maintained its position in the market because it is a very simple device which needs little maintenance and is easy to load and is inexpensive due to not many parts being required. Low jerk, one handed shooting rollerguns like the Alemanni Demultiplied Rollerguns are probably easier to tune for different shaft sizes as power increments are applied in smaller steps (the demultiplication halves them) compared with a classic gun and avoid the strong impulse when say four bands apply all their maximum force level to the same shaft in an equivalent length classic gun. A long steady push is easier for the shooter to control than a sudden jerk, particularly if the gun body is relatively light for the band load being used and throwing some energy away is worth the gain in effectiveness.

It will be interesting to see if changing the force application profile even further with the CVT system used in the "Dreamair" makes for an even more improved shooting platform as while rollerguns stretch out and gradually taper the band force profile the CVT system can even it up even more, or maybe reverse it.
