      Well… yes? Don’t you?

      Two other things: maybe the boat was sinking anyway, and maybe there were other drones on the way

      I expect soldiers to not panic, but poor fucking infantry will do whatever

        I’m not sure that you’re better off in the water, even if the boat is the target. Water is incompressible, so it transmits explosive force well. Maybe if you can get far enough away.

        Blast fishing, fish bombing, dynamite fishing or grenade fishing is a destructive fishing practice using explosives to stun or kill schools of fish for easy collection.

          Sure, if the explosion happens in the water or near enough the swimmers. Water slows down shrapnel, though
