They would be better off if they were using blue-green lasers rather than red ones, but they're still powerful enough that the water simply isn't going to count as an obstacle.

I thought abut that and while you are possibly right, I belive manga physics was very possibly influenced by fact that Arc performence almost whole previous career was centered in Gundam franchise where beam weapon under water are pretty much big no-no. Also everyone who played SRW games know that beam weapon under water are pretty much useless and while it might be different in RL it's pretty common genre staple (one have to wonder why noone made amends if there is no basis for it though.)
And Arpeggio is mecha too. Sort of.
