Underwater Ak-74's

n 2005 KBP unveiled an innovative PSP underwater cartridge with a lethal range of 25 meters.

cool concept, but I dont see how it will be useful.
 
Undoubtedly designed to counter the US Navy attack dolphin threat...

People usually laugh when you mention the idea of killer dolphins, trained by the military. But there may be a touch of truth behind the seemingly-silly notion.

(Stick with me, this will take a bit of explanation. But I think you’ll find it worth your while.)

The U.S. Navy’s Marine Mammal Program is the public face of their work with dolphins. Tom LaPuzza, the Public Affairs Officer for the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, described the "Mark 6 Marine Mammal System" – a dolphin with a handler in a boat.

The dolphin patrols the harbor, escorted by its handler. If the dolphin encounters an enemy diver, it comes back and rings a bell on the side of the boat. The trainer places a conical marker buoy over the dolphin’s snout. The dolphin then "tags" the swimmer: the buoy floats to the surface, flashing a strobe light to mark the location for security forces. The dolphin swims back and jumps into the boat with its trainer.

In 1977, Michael Greenwood, a former Navy dolphin trainer, claimed that dolphins had been armed with "large hypodermic syringes loaded with pressurized carbon dioxide" which would cause enemy divers to literally blow up. The weapon is clearly a description of the Farallon Shark Dart, a 70′s-era Navy weapon to ward off Jaws and friends. There are several variants of this story, and it is certainly possible. But why give weapons to dolphins, when they have pretty effective armament, naturally?

This is exactly what they need for those scuba diving henchmen bad guys in James Bond movies. Spear guns just don't cut it.

Jeez man haven't you ever played video games? Deep water oil rigs always house eastern european terrorists trying to sell military grade weapons and yellow cake, and they always have guards at the bottom platform that need to be taken out before the soldiers surface by shooting, you guessed it, from under the water.....obviously.
