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
