The Harpoon Gun (or Spear Gun) is a weapon available in Tomb Raider II, The Golden Mask, Tomb Raider III, The Lost Artifact and Tomb Raider Underworld.
Is is unique as it can be used underwater and above water. Technically, it is not a harpoon gun, but a spear gun. The spear of a spear gun can be propelled through elastic power, pneumatics or an explosive charge.
It's best used only when in the water, against sharks, barracudas and divers. It's generally not that effective. If possible it's better if you climb out of the water and use the pistols. Although the Harpoon launcher can be more effective in a few circumstances. The Hydro Propeller uses the same ammo.
The harpoons Lara collects and fires in TR2 and TR3 are more powerful than the ones shot at her by divers, but their guns can fire continuously, while Lara must reload after every four shots. The weapon is totally useless out of the water, and only marginally useful as the only underwater weapon in the games.
