What is the benefit of a roller speargun?

Speargun Size (Length) Generally-speaking, shorter guns of 50cm to 75cm (19.7” to 29.5”) are useful inside caves and when visibility is poor. Longer guns (over 75cm (30”)) offer a longer reach for pelagic species and difficult to approach game when the water is clear.
What size spear gun is best?
