Hey /k/, I got a question for you guys. I'm a gun owner and I love self defense, however in the recent months I have gotten into scuba-diving and I want to know how to protect myself from ebil sharks. I had a close encounter with a few squids and turtles, and it got me thinking. What if it was a shark?
Guns would be ineffective as the bullet would drop flat after a foot or two, and harpoons are fuck huge and unwieldy. I already have a knife but would be interested in a more effective line of defense for when I go diving in areas with potential shark presence.

A cage
But in reality, if you're not in a cage or a self-enclosed sub, jack shit cause humans ain't made for underwater fighting. The closest thing available are specialized guns made specifically for underwater usage, those do exist.
Just go buy an APS, fuck sharks

Then dive in a cage.
>inb4 no
Then just accept that you are not going to win a fight with a fucking shark on his home turf.

Spear guns work fine against sharks. I suppose you could also get an underwater tazer or something.

a bangstick man, just a spear with a bullet on the end, 9mm pokes kill sharks just fine.

co2 knife or Glock with underwater spring cups (to make contact shots with)

boomstick. basically a long (or short spear) with a pressure activated 12gauge at the tip, poke something with it and it goes bang at point blank. Basically the same thing they use to kill sharks and gators when you fish/hunt for them before bringing them aboard
>>34752403
Either a 12 ga. bangstick (Go for the gills!) or a powerstick (like a bangstick, but loaded with high-pressure CO2 gas cartridge, makes the fuckers go belly-up and float uncontrollably to the surface).

Just bring a toaster next time
Co2 knife
