Australian Underwater Federation - Spearfishing". Australian Underwater Federation. 24 June 2012 . Retrieved 14 May 2015. MBDA revealed more details at Farnborough in 2012, describing it as both a step change and a mini cruise missile. Although several final design considerations had yet been finalised, the basic shape and requirements included a turbojet and fold-out wings, the ability to carry 4 internally on the F-35, a multimode seeker and a datalink to enable mid-course guidance.

The creation of the Australian Bluewater Freediving Classic in 1995 in northern New South Wales was a way of creating interest and promotion of this format of underwater hunting, and contributed to the formation of the International Bluewater Spearfishing Records Committee. [ citation needed] The IBSRC formed in 1996, was the first dedicated organization worldwide, created by recognized world leaders in blue-water hunting, to record the capture of pelagic species by blue-water hunters.

The Cambridge History of Greek and Roman Warfare: Volume 1, Greece, The Hellenistic World and the Rise of Rome. Cambridge University Press, 2007, p. 108 Broadly speaking, spears were either designed to be used in melee, or to be thrown. Within this simple classification, there was a remarkable range of types. For example, M. J. Swanton identified thirty different spearhead categories and sub-categories in early Saxon England. [22] Most medieval spearheads were generally leaf-shaped. Notable types of early medieval spears include the angon, a throwing spear with a long head similar to the Roman pilum, used by the Franks and Anglo-Saxons, and the winged (or lugged) spear, which had two prominent wings at the base of the spearhead, either to prevent the spear penetrating too far into an enemy or to aid in spear fencing. [23] Originally a Frankish weapon, the winged spear also was popular with the Vikings. It would become the ancestor of later medieval polearms, such as the partisan and spetum.

The javelin is a light spear that soldiers commonly used in historical times. It was mainly used for throwing or stabbing. When used in large numbers, javelins had a devastating effect on the enemies or prey. A user could stand at a distance and use his skills to aim and throw at the target. The Egyptian and medieval knight troops used javelins as an essential weapon in their activities. Today, javelin is used in sporting activities. 4.

In countries such as Australia and South Africa where the activity is regulated by state fisheries, spearfishing has been found to be the most environmentally friendly form of fishing due to being highly selective, having no by-catch, causing no habitat damage, nor creating pollution or harm to protected endangered species. [15] The Arab presence in Sindh and the Mameluks of Delhi introduced the Middle Eastern javelin into India.Water: The Riches of Clare". www.clarelibrary.ie. Clare County Library . Retrieved 18 October 2017. The word spear comes from the Old English spere, from the Proto-Germanic speri, from a Proto-Indo-European root *sper- "spear, pole". Rhongomyniad referred to simply as Ron ("spear") in Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of Britain, the spear of King Arthur. [69] [ verification needed] The Celts would symbolically destroy a dead warrior's spear either to prevent its use by another or as a sacrificial offering. Sir James George Frazer in The Golden Bough [67] noted the phallic nature of the spear and suggested that in the Arthurian legends the spear or lance functioned as a symbol of male fertility, paired with the Grail (as a symbol of female fertility).

Spearfishing for Skin and Scuba Divers. Best Publishing Company. ISBN 978-0-941332-59-0.Greek author Oppian of Corycus wrote a major treatise on sea fishing, the Halieulica or Halieutika, composed between 177 and 180. This is the earliest such work to have survived intact. Oppian describes various means of fishing including the use of spears and tridents. [3]

In California only recreational spearfishing is allowed. California also imposes numerous restrictions, demarcating Marine protected areas, closed areas, protected species, size/bag limits and equipment. [33] An unpowered version, called SPEAR Glide, was also shown, although this was an MBDA concept only, and during the year there were a number of events that featured SPEAR in the context of the future combat cloud and Tempest programmes. As SPEAR has developed over the last couple of decades, its capabilities and use cases have also changed. Undoubtedly, the requirement stemmed from the RAF’s experience in Kosovo, but since then, it has evolved into a class of weapons with enormous development potential. Invigorated Punishment is the better option. If you want to snowball and have insanely high damage,In the 1920s, sport spearfishing using only watertight swimming goggles became popular on the Mediterranean coast of France and Italy. This led to development of the modern diving mask, fins and snorkel. Modern scuba diving had its genesis in the systematic use of rebreathers by Italian sport spearfishers during the 1930s. This practice came to the attention of the Italian Navy, which developed its frogman unit, which affected World War II. [11] Around 300,000 BP, the Neanderthals had begun constructing spears with stone heads and a few years later sharpened with fire. At the beginning of 200,000 BCE, humans made spear heads from stone blades in the Old Stone Age. They used resin or gum to fix the spear head to the shaft. In this age, there was a notable difference between melee (for thrusting) and throwing spears. Other spears of religious significance are the Holy Lance [65] and the Lúin of Celtchar, [66] believed by some to have vast mystical powers. The development of both the long, two-handed pike and gunpowder firearms in Renaissance Europe saw an ever-increasing focus on integrated infantry tactics. [35] Those infantry not armed with these weapons carried variations on the polearm, including the halberd and the bill. At the start of the Renaissance, cavalry remained predominantly lance-armed; gendarmes with the heavy knightly lance and lighter cavalry with a variety of lighter lances. By the 1540s, however, pistol-armed cavalry called reiters were beginning to make their mark. Cavalry armed with pistols and other lighter firearms, along with a sword, had virtually replaced lance armed cavalry in Western Europe by the beginning of the 17th century. [36]
