"ok, we're gonna run this planet some day, but first we have to get rid of the guns those landdwellers love. second, let's use our global weather chaos device to make it really warm so they all come into the water, then they are ours!!!ours i tell you, wipe out the humans and no one can stop us!!!THE WHOLE WORLD WILL SOON BE OURS AND THEN WE WILL START THROWING OUR WASTE ONTO THE LAND TO SEE HOW THEY LIKE IT!!! *evil laugh*

Waterproof gun: "Amphibious" Glock. There are plugs that will keep water out of some of the more important bits. Special training is recommended, and there is apparently a greater danger of hearing loss because of the way water transmits sound. You can get the plugs on ebay for under $20, but they should be installed by a certified Glock Armorer.

What you really need for a shark is a bang stick. You poke the shark with it and it fires a shotgun shell that's at the end of it and it either stuns or kills the shark.

There was this one guy who actually interacted with them as if he were a polar bear... and they reciprocated.

IIRC, he got eaten by them.

Just checked. He did, and it was Alaska, but it was brown bears.

Well yes, it is other people's business. You're not going to go out there in a dingy with a .45 yourself and do it are you? They have to send out teams of people to scour large areas to kill a member of an endangered species so that someone can feel a sense of revenge.

I have eaten freshly caught shark and it tasts disgusting.
