The Harpoon Gun is a Handheld Ranged Weapon in Barotrauma.
Description
The Harpoon Gun is a two-handed long-range medium-sized weapon. It fires 
Harpoons at a high velocity. The Harpoon Gun is effective both on board of the submarine and underwater. Upon hitting something, Harpoons may become lodged in the target (Note: This does not apply to the Explosive Harpoon) and can usually be recovered and reused. This property (plus the small material cost of the Ammunition) makes the Harpoon Gun a very cost-efficient weapon, combined with relatively good damage for the cost makes it proficient at stopping the smaller denizens of Europa, such as 
Crawlers, but it can easily be overwhelmed by big groups of enemies due to the slow firerate.
It can be crafted by anybody, and bought at any Outpost.
Function
The Harpoon Gun is held with both hands and must be loaded with a File:Harpoon icon.png Harpoon, an File:Explosive Harpoon icon.png Explosive Harpoon, a File:Physicorium Harpoon icon.png Physicorium Harpoon or File:Ahab's Spear icon.png Ahab's Spear to be used. As with all weapons and tools, using it is done by holding the 
Right-click to take aim, then by 
Left-clicking to shoot/use.
- It has a single slot for ammunition which can contain up to 6 Harpoons.
- Fired Harpoons, other than
Explosive Harpoons, may be picked up as any other item with Left Mouse Button by default, and reloaded into the Harpoon Gun. - Shot Harpoons have a rope attached to them, which reels any hit target towards the player. The rope snaps automatically 1 second after the Harpoon is fired.
- It should be noted that characters with inadequate weapons skill (less than 30) will be affected by greatly increased spread, reducing the effective accuracy of the gun.
- Like most two-handed weapons, the Harpoon Gun has a
Flashlight slot. The inserted Flashlight automatically turns on whenever the weapon is drawn. - It can be stored in the inventory, but not in
Storage Containers. The same is true with Harpoons.

Trivia
- Pre-release videos for Barotrauma showed that Harpoons were originally going to have a rope attached between them and the Harpoon Gun. This would allow the player to retract a Harpoon back into the barrel of the gun after launching it. In the Among the Ancients update, rope was finally added, but it doesn't allow for full retraction of the fired Harpoon - instead it just drags the Harpoon back for a second before it snaps, helping to collect it.
