Still a hit below the waterline would do more damage than a hit from a BB above the waterline, assuming the torpedo doesn't get lodge in the hull- which in that case it might capsize the target do to the loss in stability.
What about rockets bore sighted directly ahead or above one of the turrets? Just simple liquid fueled ones the size of a marker. Those would do some damage, especially if their remaining fuel spread on the target and inighted.

This is where things become tricky. Warheads. I would love warheads, just a small bang and some smoke, but realy think that working mini torps could be against some anti terror law...if you can make em small you can make em big
But have been thinking about it.
Rockets, fun you mention it. I actualy a few years ago made a Rocket batteri using small gas cylinders. Back then i put on a smoke grenade, you know these you can get as fireworks, you have no controll about anything with em, but 6 of em do put out some smoke over a decent area 25 by 25m
thats a area of effect weapon.
But im collecting ideas for MK III and ill just put this on the list
YARR RAIDER MK III
1. Dual turrets (twin 6mm BB)
2. Working torpedo tubes with 1/40 electric topedoes (dunno about warhead need to check with police)
3. Rocket battery with smoke rockets
Sound and smoke system for ship.

BTW
Why make this and realy dont have anything to shoot at. The idea of all this was to do something about people fishing against the law at our local lake Not building a cheap RC ship but arm it). Me and a friend needed something to do when fishing so we decided to hunt for those not paying for fishing. I know it sounds stupid and some might flame me for it, but we had fun. No one was in any danger exept some small dots on there legs or butts. We even had a kid who had a airsoft gun ready to fight, but MK I was not build for combat. MK II will be.

Doing a werry hot day a man decided to try out hes sailing RC ship. He shoutet at all and was general mean towards anyone. The lake have a beach with piers and stuf so in the middle of high noon this jerk decided that he want the half beach for him self. From a hiding place we sailed at range on hes fine sailing boat, my m8`s girlfriend gave him a warning note that if he didnt pack up and leave hes ship would be sunk (no way in hell that single gun could sing that ship) He laughed and kept going. We fired a warning shot at hes bow and hes face changed colour then we fired a warning shot right at hes feet. Trust me that fine sailing ship docked so fast and he almost ran to hes truck with it...

So there is stuf to do with it, just have to be carefull and do abit mature thinking on the dangers using stuf like this.....
My m8 actualy though of naming YARR raider MK II "lake sheppard" after sea sheppard lol....
" initial testing of the exploding 6mm BB bullets are promising (you know the 6mm that gives a bang when it hits a surface). We might have some special ammo now"
But the scale of this project is just gigantic.
Preparing hull for engine and engine pack
Prepare deck for superstructure and guns mounting
Building superstructure
Installing all electronics parts
Waterproof all that can be made waterproof
Balistic testings (air soft gun standoff) I can accept battle damedge just need to make sure that the ship can run home even shot to pieces by a 16 year old with hes 6mm AK-47
Since im a dad and have my job i might need tone down my goals abit, I will start to work on MK II but i might work on the upgrades to make it MK III on the side.
I promise when i start assambling and build it i post images. All from guns assambly to test firering. So far everything is in boxes but the drawings are almost done, and the electronics wirering drawings are also getting there.....but this project whent from last years "make it in two weeks" to oh my god can i do this...
