Why can’t they just take one of those long nets and run it through a few times. Can lionfish be eaten?

FYI: the barrel extension on the Glock is there to keep the diver from getting a hydrostatic shock. The dense water carries the shock wave a lot better than air, so that extension does ‘silence’ it for the diver.

As for other methods? I get the feeling that this was the results of a few beers and thinking about having some fun with the 'plastic gun'! Note: only a few beers, so it is not a Darwin Award candidate!

re>Can lionfish be eaten?
Not sure but their spikes are poisonous. Dangerous to get out of a net.

There’s a nearby video that talks about how they made their underwater nosie suppressor. Shooting a gun underwater is literally dangerously loud - water doesn’t compress or expand like air, so it sounds like the gun went off right next to your ear. So they made a custom suppressor to fire it safely.

I think it was more of a advertisement of products. It worked. A hawaiian sling or polespear would work on the cheap as well.

I do not know the answer to either question. They are native to the Pacific and probably got here by people who imported them for their saltwater aquariums then simply threw them into the bay because their “spikes” are poisonous.

A barbless pole spear would be best. Just stick’em and move on to the next one.

You are partly right, but it was a hurricane that breached the aquarium and let a breeding population out into the open water.

Mandatory breakdown, freshwater bath and oiling after each hunt.

Thank you for the information. ;-)

Complete and utter HOGWASH!
I regularly shoot my .357 powerhead underwater, sounds like bottle rocket shot into the water both above and below the water.
Using a glock to shoot lionfish is an absolute waster of a glock and the ammo. Which BTW MUST be sealed around the primer and casing to prevent water intrusion. NEVER had a load work without sealing it.
A simple short pole spear is hands down the best way to kill lionfish.

Thank you for the explanation; was wondering about that.

The spikes are used as toothpicks after eating the filet.
