Competition Magnum XHD* XHD stands for Extra Heavy Duty and we mean it. Thicker alloy barrel, 3/8" hardened, stainless shaft, trigger mechanisms are carbide tipped and all models are equipped with 5/8" Hi-Mod bands that feature stainless wire wishbones. The XHD is the gun of choice for commercial and hard-core shooters; to these guys it's a tool not a toy. Three bands and a heavy shaft will punch through just about any fish, which is why the Shark Research Institute depends on the XHD for tough jobs like radio tagging 40ft whale sharks. Go big, go XHD.XHD are nearly identical to the Magnum guns, but more rugged, and longer lasting. Using more heat-treated steel and more powerful slings, these guns provide longevity and power in one.

Comments about JBL JBL Magnum XHD Triple Sling Speargun (4D46XHD):
5/8" bands are tough to strech, true. With all three bands, you better be aiming at a big fish, because the gun noodles like angel hair pasta. Accuracy with two bands is fine, but you won't fully penetrate anything biger than 15 lbs. I killed a lot of fish with this gun, and overall its highly useable. If I could do it over again, I'd spend the extra money and get a woody.

Comments about JBL JBL Magnum XHD Triple Sling Speargun (4D46XHD):
works great on big fish and long shots. has a kick of a mule and if not focused can recoil and hurt you. hate the fact that the muzzle that holds the 3 bands in place is plastic made. the strenght of the bands broke the muzzle making it unusable. gun states that its extra heavy duty, but muzzle sure is not! have to replace for gun to function again.

Comments about JBL JBL Magnum XHD Triple Sling Speargun (4D46XHD):
Nice gun but you need to be a weight lifter to pull the bands back. Going to try getting longer bands.

Comments about JBL JBL Magnum XHD Triple Sling Speargun (4D46XHD):
I have only used this gun for a month and bought it to extend my range -- and am very happy with the performance. The three bands take some strength to pull, so this gun is not for the weak. Overall, I am very happy with this gun.
