Mares Sniper Alpha Speargun – 35cm Pneumatic with Aluminum Barrel

Compact, Reliable Speargun for Real-World Underwater Hunting

The Mares Sniper Alpha is designed for spearfishers who value simplicity, reliability, and precise control. At 35 cm, the gun feels nimble in tight lanes between reef ledges and wreck debris, while its rigid aluminum barrel keeps weight down without sacrificing strength.

In practice, divers notice the balance: nose-to-handle alignment feels deliberate, shots land with a crisp feel, and reloads are straightforward even with gloves on. The combination of a corrosion-resistant stainless steel rod and line release helps it withstand saltwater sessions and repeated dives.

Durable construction and power delivery

• Rigid 25 mm anodized aluminum external barrel provides a sturdy frame with light handling.
• Stainless steel rod release and line release resist wear and corrosion for longer life.
• 14 mm S-power circular sling made of pure latex maintains elasticity and delivers consistent thrust.

Meticulous design for accurate, controlled shooting

• 7 mm Tahitian shaft with a single wing harpoon tip supports precise penetration.
• Reversed firing mechanism and race wishbone contribute to a sensitive, predictable trigger feel.
• Vertical spiro reel compatibility expands your rigging options for different spearfishing styles.

Ergonomics and comfort in any hand

The handle features a concave surface in the thumb area and is designed to accommodate both left- and right-handed divers, including wearers with thick gloves. The form remains comfortable through longer sessions and helps maintain steady aim.

What to expect in the water

In reef, kelp, and wreck environments, the Sniper Alpha’s compact profile lets you thread through gaps with minimal bulk. The balanced feel supports steady aim and quick resets between shots. The lightweight construction also translates to easier travel and handling on boats.

Care and longevity
