Salvimar Ares Nightmare Speargun
The Salvimar Ares Nightmare combines the Ares platform with an all-black finish, an elliptical aluminium barrel and a configurable line release. Supplied with two 14 mm rubbers and a 7 mm shaft, it is offered in nominal lengths of 85, 95 and 105 cm.
Elliptical barrel with integrated shaft guide
The anodised barrel has an elliptical cross-section with external reinforcing ribs to support rigidity. An integrated guide runs along the barrel to support the shaft, while the rear sight and line-of-sight alignment system give you a clear visual reference along the gun.
