Marcelo Lino Brazil Arbalete 10:34 Oct 28, 2009  No Brasil, os praticantes de caça-submarina costumam chamar de "arbalete" qualquer disparador manual de arpões, mas parece que, em Portugal, eles diferenciam as armas de ar comprimido, como espingarda ou arma pneumática, e os arbaletes seriam apenas as de elástico. delveneto United States 03:32 Oct 28, 2009  http://portal.ipl.pt/pls/portal/docs/PAGE/ISEL_ARCHIVE/ACADE... "Arma de caça submarina" parece ser mais PT-PT que "arpão". O ponto é que a arma dispara um arpão, ela não é o arpão em si, mas em PT-BR, até onde vi, é assim que chamam. Carla Lopes Portugal ASKER Acho 03:28 Oct 28, 2009  que a sua opção está correta, sim. Tanto quanto sei, também existe arpão de/para pesca em PT-PT. :) Obrigada Automatic update in 00:
