This is an add on to my Remote Contol Shark idea.
in which I noted that because sharks migrate by following
geomagnetig lines on the oceans floor, sharks could be led
buy humans on whatever course we like if we introduce a
stronger marnetic pathway.
Of course once you get the sharks where
you want them it is
important that they be capably armed. While you might recall
sharks with lasers has already been suggested. I did some
research and lasres do not perform well under water.whereas
harppons are not only a proven weapon for the marine
environment they are also mobile and require no power
source.

Spearguns use either gas pressure, springs, or tensioned elastomers as energy storage to propel the projectile. |
|
| |
Because of square-law, a heavy projectile with a small cross sectional area and a low velocity, moving through a dense medium such as water, will retain its energy better than a light, fast projectile. But the effective range is still very limited. |

My wife is the most effective harppon weapon I
know. |

The Anti -Spelling -Punctuation -Grammar Force is strong with this one. Headache I have. |

And aren't sharks, a well-known predator, already armed to the teeth with teeth? |
|

Arm the gentle prey. I've always thought the deer should have rifles, to make it fair when the citiots (city idiots) come up north for the annual autumn waste of ammo. |

Interesting. I thought this was an idea for a movie... |

Sharknerdo!...
...this time it's arsenal. |

I like the idea of a 'marnetic pathway' and wonder
if this is a type of magnetic marmite? |
|
| |
Hmmm, tasty savoury ferrofluid ... |
|
| |
Of course, [bob], this idea does rather assume that sharks are
controlled by these pathways, rather than merely guided by
them. In fact, sharks also have other senses, and may be more
intelligent than you [... pauses, and then charitably adds ...] think. |
|
| |
One other option is sharks firing smaller sharks
strapped to the spears at prey. |
|
| |
Firing bigger sharks would have more recoil and the
bigger sharks would just snaffle the lot anyway. |
|
| |
Wait...if the shark could fire two larger sharks in
opposite directions, the recoil-ess shark(s) gun is
created. Gives self a [+] |
