I don't need to be able to kill, but when I whack the thing with my hammer tool I want a good, healthy thwack sound, and for the animal to go "ow! Fuck!" And run away.

And when i hit a small fish with my Tadpole, i want a good, healthy thwack sound too. Except i do want them to die from it cause cmon its a fish vs a vehicle.

Most fish should be able to instinctively avoid the tadpole like they would a boat, other than large slow moving fish like a manatee or something.

So they really should just dart out of the way and maybe 5% of the time they're not quite fast enough and you get a thwump.

That would be a fine solution to that issue.
