Electric charge is obviously deadly in water. But how can you control the range?

Magnetic mine is an effective underwater weapon, besides depth charges.

BTW, OT: what is the average height of an IS?

Ultrasound, for example, can actually change the characteristices of any substance it's applied to. Think of it. Sound waves are, in effect, a kind of low-level radiation. The sound waves vibrate the H2O molecules. Depending on the frequency (high, low, ultra or infra sound), it affects the molecules differently. You either vibrate them so strongly they cluster together and temperature drops---or at a frequency that shakes the molecules so far apart that somethign else can happen.

Focused enough they become underwater equivalent of laser

The most important point here is having fun anyway.

I can get the temperature increase part but temperature going down?

How does that work?

Fascinating *nod*

Poor Ichika, every time Chifuyu hits him, another 5000 brain cells die.

...Maybe that's why he's so oblivous when it comes to girls

Better than feeling down, seeing how hard the series had fell.

Yes and no, it's not range but direction and intensity

Manta ray use a short range biological taser, thus they have to hover above their prey. Electric eel need contact to discharge their energy.

Much of the energy spread too much, more so than in the air.

Magnetic mines are mines that use magnet to detect ship hull, not some kind of technobabble stuff.

depend on which one you use, 20 cm taller than the pilot to 2+ meter.

Doesn't change the fact that it gives the pilot more body size.

[Rokumonsen]

Electric charge suddenly reminds me of Stingray from RA3...

How about a radioactive surge weapon? Like that of Guren.

And does a railgun work underwater?

- Remember that water, pure water (EG just H2O) is actually undrinkable. Water is necessary for human life but the compound H2O in it's purest form can't be drunk. All water, whether it;s tap water or mineral water or 'pure spring' water is actually a mixture---H2O plus impurities. It's the impurities, the particles in water that allow humans to safely drink it (ask your chemistry teacher if you don't believe me). So, when water is cooled, it's not just the H2O itself but all the tiny little impurities---minerals, microscopic lifeforms, et al that lose heat. Ultrasound is used to kill bacteria in water, and at high enough frequencies it can separate the impurities from the H2O itself.

So it is the separation of the impurities that cause water to lose heat?

^haven't study Chemistry for a long time.

Maybe it's best if I should come back at another time...

I'm not much help with what everyone else's talking about.

Actually the current topic is underwater weapons.

So....Just share whatever you have.

Which I don't know absolute shit about...

I was going to post something in reguards to my fic. But seeing everyone else having their fun with the current topic here, it's best if I didn't post it.

Not wanting to disrupt you guys's flow of conversation...

And not to mention that it'll just be flat out ignored and swept away before anyone sees it...

[Slips back into the depths]

[Fireminer]

Chifuyu: We gather here today to celebrate the Holy Union between Ichika Orimura and Houki Shinonono, Cecilia Alcott, Huang Ling Yin, Charlotte Dunois, Laura Bodewig, Tatenashi and Kanzashi Shirasaki,... And finally, Madoka Orimura (Twitching eyes). If anyone have any objections to this mariage, please speak now or forever silence... Very well, because I do! (Grabbing Ichika and ran away) You girls will never get your hands on Ichika. NNNEEEVVVEEERRR!!!

It's WINCEST TIME!

Not again! When was last time you write an IS fic?

Flow get disrupted all the time anyway...

Ohh!!! Look! Shiny!

Inefficient, but usable.

I dunno, this is borderline impossible unless you somehow can make-

wait...

I.S. tech made this plausible by creating special field bubble, though you might want to use special projectile design.

[Fireminer]

So an Electric Rod, I presume it would be appropriate for submerge use?

By the way, soldiers could use Lasers to pinpoint where to drop bomb, right? But how do they do it underwater? Using somekind of transmitting bug?

Simple answer: They didn't.

Torpedo are sonar guided, passive sonar means the torpedo simply follow the target's noise, while using active sonar means the torpedo follow the direction from special buoys dropped by Anti-submarine plane or directly transmitted by friendly ship.

Also, infantry pinpoint laser is so last season
