Hooligan,
That is pure genius.  I guarantee you could sell that within weeks. Just think of some of the courses that are out there right now and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that one would sell.  Not to mention the fact that that snappy name would certainly get attention.

I could tell you the sniper rifle we use in Free Fall, but, well, you know the rest.....

Great, maybe they could be Blue tinted Ceramic blades..with positive Buoyant handles,and Oyster opener on the pommel...
|
Granted, the blade is not blue-tinted ceramic, but the handle IS blue... and buoyant! No oyster opener, but there is the ring to attach a lanyard!

WOW, great shooting..a 3.7 mile shots really demonstrate great sniper skills.
Under water, Snipering is pretty much limited to the number of bands on the gun....LOL
Maybe those Lazer rifles would work underwater..

When I was in UDT-11 we had an underwater defense gun. It shot a needle projectile about 150 yds. I tried it in the base pool and it took out a chunk of concrete at the other end at 50yds. That's a no-shitter.
