Roller Spearguns utilise a modified muzzle that modifies power-band loading to give you more power from shorter barrels. This is achieved by placing the power-bands under constant load as the shaft is shot, which is created by anchoring the rubbers on the underside of the barrel. The rubbers run along the base of the barrel, through the muzzle, where they wrap around a wheel and are drawn along the top of the shaft to fins.
If you picture a typical speargun, the rubbers are slack for about the last 30cms+ of the barrel. This means you're not transferring power along the entire length of the barrel to the shaft. But in a roller, because the rubbers are continuing to contract all the way to the muzzle, you can get considerably more power from the same barrel length.

Roller Spearguns Pros and Cons
Pros
- More power from shorter barrels.
- Added agility due to shorted barrel
- Allow thicker shaft choice due to added power
Cons
- Harder to load - we suggest using a load assist.
- Ensure you un-load your rubbers as they'll wear out quicker if under constant load.
