Hollywood tends to make this slower and more explode-y.
This is some seriously nasty stuff.

At the Mary Rose display in England, they note that many of the drowned, were killed because the anti boarding nets were set up.
They were designed to keep attackers out, but when the ship sank, they trapped the sailors inside.

"We've got the torpedo damage temporarily shored up, the fires out and soon will have the ship back on an even keel. But I would suggest, sir, that if you have to take any more torpedoes, you take 'em on the starboard side." Pops Healy, DCA USS Lexington.

Man, I just
know
that crap would go right into my eye. First fight I'm in, bam, lost an eye. Anything flying around always hits me in the eye; this would absolutely do it.
No thanks, I'm going the descendant aristocrat route, and just get gout.
I actually don't really like games.
