'Bout spearguns, I use an old gun (the brand sticker has worn off, that's how old it is!), that's about 1.5m long - a longer gun is generally better I reckon - powered by a single rubber. I have a long cluster head on the end, and have used this outfit to take leatherjackets, sweep, pike, flatties, blackfish, trevally, flounder and a big whiting a few seasons ago. I don't know much about them, but I think that pneumatic guns have power issues (ie/ not as powerful as rubbers) and also can be an expensive exercise if they malfunction. Also they are expensive to buy compared to rubbered guns. I think that, at least for your first gun, you would do best to concentrate on buying a reliable rubbered gun. 2 of my mates use the Seahornet gun that you mentioned, they are very happy with them. For my next gun I will be looking at something from picasso I think, more expensive than most guns, but worth it.
Hope this helps
