Ariel gets a harpoon gun, duh.
Plus I'm not confident that it's a brilliant idea to fire any kind of gun underwater. Does water in the chamber and barrel have much of an affect on the chamber pressure and ballistics of the bullet trying to exit?
The Russians made a fire that is made for underwater use. Kinda nasty really.
This is of course different then firing it with water in the barrel on the surface.

Who watches the watchmen?For a Norwegian, you'd want a Krag-Jørgensen then. One of our very few native designs, and a successful one to boot.
It has a rather funny magazine solution, with a door on the side for loading rounds.
When in deadly danger, When beset by doubt, Run in little circles, Wave your arms and shout.Hmm, I feel like as siblings Elsa and Anna should be two related but different designs.
Maybe a Krag for Ariel, though?
TOTALLY LEGIT NEW RIFLE BATTLE TECHNIQUE!
Gonna have to ask about this totally real not made up dynamically kinetic combat technique the next time I qualify at the range.
Love the jargon. "Introducing more kinetic options and reducing the kill chain, giving the operator a dynamic battlespace advantage."
Schild und Schwert der ParteiI'm loving the one guy's voice
Oh really when?Aww, if only all my long guns took magazines...wonder if a 10/22 mag has enough weight to do it?
Maybe I could try to apply the technique to my handguns?
Fun fact: You can throw a Colt M1911 like a Batarang!note
It's fun to look at their uploaded videos. Their first couple of things, they were actually taking themselves seriously, and suddenly they just did a glorious swan dive over the shark.
So, in the topic of "clueless political memes", my mother in law posted a meme of Gunny Hartman saying "If you have a problem with law abiding citizens being armed, then you are the reason law abiding citizens are armed".
Yeah, make an anti-gun control meme using a character who gets murdered via gun (not by a privately owned one, natch, and I guess by definition, you can't be murdered by a law-abiding citizen as murder is against the law...)
R Lee Ermey is big in the NRA.
Schild und Schwert der ParteiHuh, that's a bit shady. I thought at first that that was an official NRA site and was wondering why they were putting R. Lee Ermey's social and economic politics rather than anything to do with, you know, guns. Then I went to their "About" page and it's actually about "the fact that the organization is a rogues gallery of the most odious voices in the contemporary Conservative Movement". Not that I can honestly disagree that I find some of the NRA crowd to be nutters, but a website that at first glance seems to be an official NRA page but in actuality is run by an opposition group is rather bleh.
Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.Apologies; I simply typed "r lee ermey nra" into Google hoping to find some official page explaining his role in the organization. It fooled me too.

Schild und Schwert der ParteiThis shouldn't be as funny as it is:
Man in bulletproof vest says 'shoot me,' is killed
It sounds like the vest, assuming it worked to begin with given its age, wasn't fitted properly to the guy, or maybe the low-calibre round bounced off of a bone and did a bank-shot down into his heart.
South Carolina, why am I not surprised?
Oh really when?Darwin claims another one.
Schild und Schwert der ParteiIt's like North Carolina... but South...

Most Darwin Awards begin with:
- Check this out!
- I've seen this on TV....
- We have plenty of time!
- We're not gonna get hurt!
- What's the worst that could happen.
And the number one in the South:
- Hold my beer and watch this...
That one's pretty popular in Scotland too...
Schild und Schwert der ParteiReally? I'd have thoughts a Scot would rather down his beer than trust someone else with it.
“And the Bunny nails it!” ~ Gabrael “If the UN can get through a day without everyone strangling everyone else so can we.” ~ Cyran"Hold my beer and watch this" is supposedly the last thing said before a car accident in the state of Texas as well.
From what I've heard, a true Scottish beer is strong enough to defend itself from others if you need to leave it unattended.

And not because the big H was supposedly a closet fan.
