Curious now, what is the process to protect guns from saltwater submersion exposure? I would think they would be able to rinse thoroughly and dry and it would be fine?
gotta be more efficient than spearing them?
I don't know what the process would be, but after spending a few years spear diving Hawaii, there's no way that thing wouldn't rust like crazy! A three prong has a medical bungee, and it's really fast to deploy. I noticed the guy was carrying a regular spear gun as well

my guess is hes doing it more for the novelty of it, but I still think it would be more efficient way of killing the lionfish... since they are invasive. My guess is the spear was for legal gamefish species.
A three prong has a bungy, it's kind of like a sling shot.

Those lion fish are taking over the place but someone found out they're pretty tasty too. I would think if you can get that close a basic Co2 type pistol (paint ball) would work just as well.
They're supposed to be tasty, just don't touch the quills!

Do they cerakote the inside of the barrel?Cerakote

Not likely.. maybe a vicious amount of oil per dive then?

You'd have to strip it down to its 34 parts, soak in fresh water and then before drying, into a bath of CLP (or similar).
Then you still might have some rusting that occurred before the bath.
It's amazing how fast the rusting process starts.
Example :
Fish hook, plated.
A few strokes of the file to sharpen point.
1/2 hour of fishing and you can see the rust starting on the part that was sharpened.
