The invention pertains to a speargun, comprising a barrel having an oblong body and a spear track for directly receiving a spear, the spear track being formed as a channel on the outer surface of the barrel, a handle unit connected to the barrel, and a trigger unit for releasing the spear through activation of a finger trigger, wherein the barrel is constructed as a single piece having an oblong barrel body comprising a hollow interior space, wherein a reinforcing bar is provided inside the hollow interior space, the reinforcing bar running essentially a length of the barrel body. The invention also pertains to a speargun wherein a housing containing the trigger unit has a window through which the trigger mechanism of the trigger unit is at least partly visible from an outside and a speargun wherein fixation means are provided for fixing the handle unit in different positions along the barrel.
