harpoon gun
Whaler's ranged weapon
A harpoon gun is a weapon that fires a barbed spear, used primarily for hunting whales and large fish.
Unlike handheld harpoons, the gun provides mechanical force—compressed air, gunpowder, or rubber bands—to propel the projectile.
Modern versions appear in spearfishing and marine research: The diver carried a harpoon gun for protection against sharks.
