Heckler & Koch P11
The HK P11 is a special-purpose Heckler & Koch pistol designed to be used underwater, where ordinary-shaped bullets are inaccurate and have very short range. As a result, this pistol fires steel darts about 10 cm long; each dart contains a very small solid-fuel rocket. It has longer range and has more penetrating power than spearguns. It has five barrels, each of which is loaded with a cartridge. After firing all five cartridges, the pistol must be sent back to its manufacturer for reloading. It has been seen in action in movies.
