<fortune>I saw one at a gunsmiths the other week first and only one I've ever seen. Didn't ask any questions or get it out of the rack though. Not my bag!!

Grizzly AdamsHello;
My question here would be is this actually a harpoon gun, or a line throwing gun, used to project a rope from one ship to another?

<Juneau>Grizzly,
It is actually a harpoon gun. I saw one many years ago up here (Alaska). That natives used it for harpooning marine mammals. It seems to me that it was built on a Martini action - but having no interest at the time, didn't pay very close attention to it.
Didn't they have some kind of shoulder fired harpoon gun in the original "Jaws" movie??
in two jaws movies they used martini harpoon guns in the movie deep blue sea they used a savage synthetic stainless converted to a harpoon gun
