To gain more power some people use shorter and bigger diameter bands but in fact these guns became impossible to load. best solution is to decrease the diameter and add another band. the most important thing is to have same diameter for both bands. like the below Bicarbon. i have removed the normal head replace it with the open head to have more room for the double band 16mm and installed a shorter shark fin shaft for less friction on the rope wishbones and to gain speed. below are the pictures before and after the transformation.

Looks nice habibi,

did u test it or not yet, since I came back to Turkiye I m dealing with peoples guns almost every day so I can tell you the following:
Short & thick shafts (7mm or thicker) are good with double 16 or double 18 for 8.5 mm or 9 mm shafts triple 16 are good.

it is tested and and it shoots great very accurate and powerful. concerning the 7mm or thinker shaft i prefer to stick to the 6.5 mm i guess it's the best compromise power and speed wise. don't forget that we need to have a multi purpose gun that shoots the 30 kg amber jack and powerful fish like the goupers and the 600 gr sargos. and if need we can take it home for self defense :mrgreen:
