There are several types of harpoons used in whaling, including the traditional hand-held harpoon, which is thrown by a whaler, and the more modern explosive harpoon, which is fired from a specialized gun. The explosive harpoon contains a small charge that detonates upon impact, ensuring a quicker kill. Additionally, there are also mechanical harpoons designed for use with boats, which can be more effective in larger-scale whaling operations. Each type is designed to increase efficiency and reduce the suffering of the whale.
