Your basic problem with underwater weapons is how to make them (by them I mean their projectile or effect - basically the damagey bit) travel any real distance and arrive at the far end still causing damage.

Bullets (and other projectiles) lose kinetic energy to the water and lasers dissipate energy into the water.

Personally I really like the way the game has implemented "weapons" - you can use the propulsion/repulsion cannons to hurl things around, you can use the stasis rifle and vortex torpedos to disrupt hostile creatures and escape from them and if all else fails you can hit things with your knife.
