They travel further, but higher frequencies slow down due to the medium.

It'd probably muffle some of the more damaging high frequency sound waves but there'd be some shockwaves of lower frequencies involved which might do something else to you

No, the speed of sound through water is essentially independent of frequency. Sound is a compression wave.

You're thinking of transverse, or surface waves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95sQcSulRFM

Given the high amplitude and nearness to the gun I'd guess nonlinear propagation would play a big part so that's interesting. IDK if that makes for a more intense shock front.

I was under the impression that high frequencies don't propagate well through water, but that's dumb because sonar exists lol.

Blame it on lack of sleep
