Cressi apache lionfish 45 edition seems ok although i haven't tried it yet on planned shallow reef dive. The spear is good quality. It has 2 notches on the spear so i started out on the first notch, bad idea need more power.
This is a good little snapper gun if you have the right expectations. Well made, shoots straight, and packs a punch. Great beginner gun.

False, it does not fit cressi apache at least not without modified work done to it like adding a female attachment and drilling holes.

My boyfriend who is also new to the sport was able to set it up but i dont think that it is how it should be set up and that it would work better if it was set up as intended

Shoots great but the line would occasionally break and with just one rubber band makes it hard to load under water
