Line throwers?
In the USN, they're all M14 or M16A2 with blank/signaling cartridge and a line thrower cup attachment. Often, they're dedicated rifles, but they're still capable of firing standard service ammunition.

Well, since y'all bring up guns and boats.
I had a friend once who went all over the Caribbean on a boat with his wife. He said guns were a no go in many ports so he had no firearms. What would a linethrower do to a bad guy?

I have no idea, but I really kick myself for not buying one of these when they were imported.

Back in the day, Navy Arms listed in their catalog a Greener harpoon gun, that came in a beautiful wood chest with attachments for launching harpoons, grappling hooks, or throwing line.
Martini-action, and soooo neat. ETA: This is what I remember -
