All this will make debris effect very unrealistic.

Debris particles shouldn't follow the same direction as the impacting projectile but they should radiate (not necessarily far) from the impact area in random directions
Obtaining a realistic effect should be a matter of playing with initial/overlife X, Y and Z speeds and with particle mass parameters. decrease X/Z speeds and mass and particles shouldn't move too far away from the impact area before they start falling down; decrease the Y speed and/or increase the mass, and particles shouldn't jump too high in the air before they invert their vertical speed and they start falling down.
As for water splashes, I am pretty sure that debris featured in the SH5 version of FX-Updates have them, and they cause damage to nearby vessels too if they hit them lol. I think they have a StaticObject controller attached, but I will have a look into them to see how this particular effect was obtained
