yes. they're still being worked on and produced for other countries last I checked (check out the FX Redback, nicknamed "Gatling" due to having 8 spinning barrels) but in gemrany the over-the-barrel arrow shooters are no bueno as of a few years ago.
But what he realized is that the AirRinger two-shot arrow shooter pistol could be repurposed as a harpoon gun which are explicitly largely unregulated, and so he did, producing the nearly-identical ScubaRinger.
then they said "akchually the scubaringer is too weak to be used as a harpoon gun" (yes, in this moment of abusrdity they wanted to ban something from being freely sold because it wasn't powerful enough) which he not only disproved vuia testing, thus keeping that first model legal, but also came out with the improved ScubaRinger2, which has like 60 instead of 40 joules, and, since it was a harpoon gun now anyway, dispensed with the tedious over-the-barrel principle and just shoots projectiles through the barrel the normal way.
and then he made the ScubaAshinger, which is pic related. Far larger cartridges, this one does over 200J of energy per shot and fires significantly larger harpoons/arrows too.
i find this system these devices all use quite interesting, the power is kept in the cartridge by a metal disk, and once that disk is pierced by a needle the pressure releases to fire the shot.

very creative but I think it's basically all a load of hokey. just as an example, load that thing with a minie ball of the barrel's diameter and it's gonna fly really damn slowly and weakly. it's really limited in power as mentioned before. and are you jsut supposed to light the flare first? theres nothing about a co2 powered thingy that generates heat when firing, quite the opposite in fact.
